Writing is often compared to making a long journey. You need to keep your momentum up in order to make it to the end – one foot in front of the other, right, then left, then… 

Right Left Write is run in conjunction with our weekly newsletter, Pen & Pixel. Each month we’ll announce a new genre prompt, then it’s over to you to create a short story of up to 500 words and right, left, write. 
 
Winning entries are published in the newsletter (the second edition of each month), on our website, and in an annual print anthology edition.

Members can enter for free and non-members can enter for a $5 fee. 
So make Right Left Write part of your routine, get writing, then submit here!
