Erik Larson

Erik Larson is the author of eight books, six of which became New York Times bestsellers. His latest books,  The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz  and  Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania , both hit no. 1 on the list soon after launch. His saga of the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893,  The Devil in the White City , was a finalist for the National Book Award, and won an Edgar Award for fact-crime writing; it lingered on various Times bestseller lists for the better part of a decade. Hulu plans to adapt the book for a limited TV series, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese as executive producers. Erik’s   In the Garden of Beasts , about how America’s first ambassador to Nazi Germany and his daughter experienced the rising terror of Hitler’s rule, has been optioned by Tom Hanks for development as a feature film.

He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied Russian history, language and culture; he received a masters in journalism from Columbia University. After a brief stint at the  Bucks County Courier Times , Erik became a staff writer for  The Wall Street Journal , and later a contributing writer for  Time  Magazine. His magazine stories have appeared  in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s , and other publications.

He has taught nonfiction writing at San Francisco State, the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars, the University of Oregon, and the Chuckanut Writers Conference in Bellingham, Washington, and has spoken to audiences from coast to coast. A former resident of Seattle, he now lives in Manhattan with his wife, a neonatologist, who is also the author of the nonfiction memoir, Almost Home , which, as Erik puts it, “could make a stone cry.” They have three daughters in far-flung locations and professions. Their beloved dog Molly resides in an urn on a shelf overlooking Central Park, where they like to think she now spends most of her time.

A piece of writing that employs some combination of lyrical, metrical, rhythmic, illusory, or imaginative power, frequently employing vivid or suggestive language/imagery or literary devices like similes and metaphors.

Prose Poem/Flash Fiction (PF)

Maximum: 3 pieces

A prose poem is a non-poetical piece that still embodies certain poetic qualities such as prominent rhythms, imagery, compactness, and intensity, though without necessarily rhyming or following a set metrical pattern. Flash fiction is an extremely brief (generally no more than a few hundred words) piece of prose fiction.

Fan Fiction/Science Fiction/Fantasy (FS)

  Maximum: 5 pages

SciFi (science fiction) is prose fiction based on imagined future technological and/or scientific advances, frequently employing significant social or environmental changes, space travel, time travel, and/or alien life forms. Fantasy , also prose fiction, employs magical or supernatural qualities of the characters, plot, setting, or theme. While fantasy can employ any time setting, it is frequently set in worlds resembling ancient or medieval Earth. Fan Fiction , a new but growing genre, is a work of fiction set in a pre-existing world created by another author. For example, popular fan fiction works use the characters from a TV/movie series like Star Trek or Harry Potte r, but use those characters in new ways or takes them on new adventures that are imagined by the fan fiction author.

Short Fiction (SF)

Like fantasy fiction, tales of terror often incorporate supernatural beings, events, and settings, but differs in that its primary intent is to induce horror or terror. Tales of terror need not employ supernatural elements, though in a non-supernatural setting, the genre still creates an aura of eeriness or fright. Tales of mystery can employ many of the same elements as tales of terror, but its impact is intrigue rather than terror, or it offers an outré tale, or it can simply be a piece of crime fiction like a murder mystery.

Teacher (T)

Maximum: Refer above for each category

All creative writing by teachers

The Terroir Creative Writing Festival is back

Being a writer is a mostly solitary activity, doubly so when you live in a rural county (or there’s a pandemic brewing). But living the writing life—that’s something that doesn’t have to be done in isolation.

That’s just one reason I am so excited that Yamhill County’s one-day literary event, the Terroir Creative Writing Festival , is coming back on Saturday, April 29. Now in its 11th incarnation, the full day of keynote talks, workshops, sessions on creativity, and a panel discussion welcomes writers of all ages looking to expand their tribe and jump-start their creativity and will take place at the Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg, a change of venue for the festival. 

It’s been three years since the organizers were able to hold the event, which brings together writers, our hometown bookseller, readers, speakers, and literary professionals for a full-day exploration of the writing craft. 

Terroir, a program of the Arts Alliance of Yamhill County , started in 2010, when a group of writers including poet Barbara Drake set out to create a place where writers could connect with each other. That first festival featured keynote speaker Ursula K. LeGuin, and subsequent events have welcomed Chelsea Cain, Rene Denfeld, Kim Stafford, Jean Auel, Molly Gloss, Steve Duin, and more. 

One of the Terroir’s goals has always been to meet attendees at whatever stage of the writing life they find themselves in. So while we do have a publishing panel for people who are ready to get out into the world, this year’s programming also includes some creativity-focused workshops like Katie Kulla and Rebecca Minifie’s session on zines as a creative process or Ellen Summerfield’s workshop on what makes a great poem. 

This year’s event promises to offer a lot of opportunities for what we writers call cross-pollination—or learning from people who aren’t necessarily writing the same type of things that you are. So a young adult fiction writer who comes to hear author Melissa Hart speak about writing more compassionately about young characters might take away just as much from author Liz Prato’s workshop on research for nonfiction essays. Or a great reader of nonfiction might enjoy meeting keynote speaker Leah Sottile, author of works on extremism in the West like When The Moon Turns to Blood but then discover that they also love the works of local author Joe Wilkins, whose novels are imbued with a sense of place (and who is speaking on just that).

Sometimes, the magic happens between the sessions, when you realize all of the writing that’s happening in Yamhill County because the writers have come out of the woodwork for the event.

In the end, that’s what it’s all about—creating the literary community that allows writing lives to grow and flourish. And if you can feel a little more connected, and a lot more inspired—well, that’s reason enough to leave your desk for the day.

Creative Writing Prompts

When the idea to start a weekly newsletter with writing inspiration first came to us, we decided that we wanted to do more than provide people with topics to write about. We wanted to try and help authors form a regular writing habit and also give them a place to proudly display their work. So we started the weekly Creative Writing Prompts newsletter. Since then, Prompts has grown to a community of more than 450,000 authors, complete with its own literary magazine, Prompted .  

Here's how our contest works: every Friday, we send out a newsletter containing five creative writing prompts. Each week, the story ideas center around a different theme. Authors then have one week — until the following Friday — to submit a short story based on one of our prompts. A winner is picked each week to win $250 and is highlighted on our Reedsy Prompts page.

Interested in participating in our short story contest? Sign up here for more information! Or you can check out our full Terms of Use and our FAQ page .

Why we love creative writing prompts

If you've ever sat in front of a computer or notebook and felt the urge to start creating worlds, characters, and storylines — all the while finding yourself unable to do so — then you've met the author's age-old foe: writer's block. There's nothing more frustrating than finding the time but not the words to be creative. Enter our directory! If you're ready to kick writer's block to the curb and finally get started on your short story or novel, these unique story ideas might just be your ticket.

This list of 1800+ creative writing prompts has been created by the Reedsy team to help you develop a rock-solid writing routine. As all aspiring authors know, this is the #1 challenge — and solution! — for reaching your literary goals. Feel free to filter through different genres, which include...

Dramatic — If you want to make people laugh and cry within the same story, this might be your genre.

Funny — Whether satire or slapstick, this is an opportunity to write with your funny bone.

Romance — One of the most popular commercial genres out there. Check out these story ideas out if you love writing about love.

Fantasy — The beauty of this genre is that the possibilities are as endless as your imagination.

Dystopian – Explore the shadowy side of human nature and contemporary technology in dark speculative fiction.

Mystery — From whodunnits to cozy mysteries, it's time to bring out your inner detective.

Thriller and Suspense — There's nothing like a page-turner that elicits a gasp of surprise at the end.

After you find the perfect story idea

Finding inspiration is just one piece of the puzzle. Next, you need to refine your craft skills — and then display them to the world. We've worked hard to create resources that help you do just that! Check them out:

• How to Write a Short Story That Gets Published — a free, ten-day course by Laura Mae Isaacman, a full-time editor who runs a book editing company in Brooklyn.

Beyond creative writing prompts: how to build a writing routine

While writing prompts are a great tactic to spark your creative sessions, a writer generally needs a couple more tools in their toolbelt when it comes to developing a rock-solid writing routine . To that end, here are a few more additional tips for incorporating your craft into your everyday life.

• NNWT. Or, as book coach Kevin Johns calls it , “Non-Negotiable Writing Time.” This time should be scheduled into your routine, whether that’s once a day or once a week. Treat it as a serious commitment, and don’t schedule anything else during your NNWT unless it’s absolutely necessary.
• Set word count goals. And make them realistic! Don’t start out with lofty goals you’re unlikely to achieve. Give some thought to how many words you think you can write a week, and start there. If you find you’re hitting your weekly or daily goals easily, keep upping the stakes as your craft time becomes more ingrained in your routine.
• Talk to friends and family about the project you’re working on. Doing so means that those close to you are likely to check in about the status of your piece — which in turn keeps you more accountable.

Arm yourself against writer’s block. Writer’s block will inevitably come, no matter how much story ideas initially inspire you. So it’s best to be prepared with tips and tricks you can use to keep yourself on track before the block hits. You can find 20 solid tips here — including how to establish a relationship with your inner critic and apps that can help you defeat procrastination or lack of motivation.

Writing festival to bring over 100 artists, authors together in Ithaca. What to know

As spring brings color back to New York, so will Ithaca's artists and authors who are beginning to come out of the woodwork for the year, many of them gearing up for an upcoming festival of words.

The Spring Writes Literary Festival began in 2009 and is one of the many programs of the non-profit Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County (CAP,) which supports area artists with grants and educational programming .

The yearly festival celebrating Finger Lakes authors and creatives has grown from 12 events with 25 artists to over 40 events with over 110 artists, made possible with support from the Tompkins County Tourism Program, New York State’s Council on the Arts, Poets & Writers magazine and community sponsors like Ithaca College, CFCU Community Credit Union and Odyssey Bookstore.

What is CAP and Spring Writes?

CAP has supported Ithaca’s artists with grants and art-based programs since 1995 and has distributed $6.4 million over the last 30 years to artists, arts organizations, and not-for-profits hosting arts programming in the area.

The partnership manages the Greater Ithaca Art Trail which over 29,000 visitors have enjoyed since its inception in 1999, earning its 750 artists a combined $875,000. Since 1996, 48,000 visitors have attended the Ithaca Artists Markets, with 1,800 artists earning a combined total of over $1,000,000.

“Spring Writes started when the New York State Council on the Arts contacted our organization and asked us to do some sort of literary event, because they were not receiving any requests at the state level for literary events in our area,” said Robin Schwartz, Grants and Program Director for CAP, during a recent interview.

Since its creation in 2009, 780 authors and playwrights have presented their work to 9,800 regional and worldwide visitors at the festival, according to CAP.

This year, 110 authors will be showcasing their work in a slew of free writing-centric events. Some examples include Janie E. Bibbie, the Tompkins County Poet Laureate for 2023-2024, Jonathan Miller, founder and co-director of Story House Ithaca and Amber Smith , a New York Times bestselling author .

“I think we forget that, for such a small town, mostly rural county, we have quite an impressive array of artists that live here,” Schwartz said. “If you ask artists what they need, they’re going to say money. All of our programs are designed to either give artists money directly, help artists with their professional development, or connect artists and audiences.”

Allowing artists to make a livelihood and stay in the Tompkins County area is a main goal of the arts partnership, Schwartz said.

“Over 31 years I've seen a lot of changes in how people can make a living,” she said. “ The internet wasn’t a way to promote yourself when I started, and a vibrant art community is what we want in this area, allowing artists the funds to stay and live here is paramount.”

What to expect during the festival

Live writing events will dot downtown beginning May 2, running through May 5. The following week, starting on May 11, CAP will host a week of online events through Zoom , with local workshops ramping up in June , stretching into August.

100 Words Essay On My Favourite Festival

“Diwali” is a Hindu festival celebrated all over the world. It falls on the “new moon day” of Kartikeya month. It is believed that Lord Rama returned from exile along with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana after defeating Ravana. The people of his kingdom celebrated his victory and homecoming with mirth and merriment. It signifies the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and wit over ignorance.

Diwali preparations often start a month before the festival. People clean and decorate their houses. Schools and colleges usually close for the five-day festival.

Diwali is a time to meet relatives and friends, distribute sweets, and share food. People also celebrate by burning crackers to celebrate Lord Rama’s return and welcome Goddess Lakshmi.

200 Words Essay On My Favourite Festival

My favourite festival is Diwali, also called Deepawali. Diwali is one of the most widely celebrated Indian festivals.

Story Of Diwali | Diwali marks the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya, his home, after 14 years of exile. As per Hindu mythology, Rama was sent to exile along with his wife, Sita, by his father, King Dashratha, on the wish of his wife Kaikeyi. During the period of their exile, Sita was kidnapped by Ravana and taken to Lanka. Rama, along with his brother Lakshman, defeated Ravana and brought Sita back home.

The festival of Diwali, thus, commemorates the victory of Rama over Ravana, or good over evil. It is celebrated in October or November on new moon day. So, the absence of the moon is filled by lighting diyas and candles.

How It Is Celebrated | People buy new clothes, decorate their houses, and distribute gifts and sweets among friends and relatives. Rangolis are made and diyas are lit.

Diwali is also called “Deepawali”. “Deep” literally translates to “Diyas” or little earthen lamps. So, the term Deepawali means an array of diyas put together. It is celebrated in the autumn season and falls in October or November. It symbolises the victory of good over evil. Diwali is a 5-day festival filled with joy, laughter, love and positivity.

Significance Of Diwali

In India, Diwali has been celebrated for the last 2500 years. This was first celebrated when Lord Rama returned to his kingdom Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. He was accompanied by his wife Sita and younger brother Lakshmana. There they together faced many challenges and difficulties.

Mythology says that Ravana tricked Sita and kidnapped her, taking her to Sri Lanka. Rama and Lakshmana along with others went to Lanka to save Sita. It is believed that they had to tread through a long and challenging journey. They had to fight a long and rigorous battle to defeat the ten-headed demon, Ravana. Hence, the festival of Diwali symbolises the victory of good over evil.

Traditions And Customs

People celebrate Diwali by lighting their houses, and decorating them with diyas and candles. Beautiful and intricate designs of rangoli are made at the entrances of homes. It is a time for people to get together with their families and friends, and make memories. On the day of Diwali, pooja is performed in the evening, followed by the lighting of fireworks. The 5-day festival starts with Naraka Chaturdashi and culminates with Bhai Dooj.

How I Celebrated Last Year

Last year, we celebrated Diwali at my native place. All my uncles, aunts and our family gathered at my grandparents’ house. We reached there a day before.

My grandfather distributed the tasks equally. Elders were assigned the cleaning of the house while we, kids, were asked to make rangolis and decorate the house.

Get Togethers | In the evening, we performed a pooja together and then went to the common space in the village where we met my grandparents’ neighbours. We all made merry as we exchanged sweets and had dinner together.

Visit To Orphange | I and my cousins slept with my grandparents in the living room. Our grandparents told us the stories of how they celebrated Diwali in olden times. The next day, we decided to go to an orphanage and donate clothes and food. We watched a newly- released movie together. On the third day, everybody was sad as it was time to return to routine.

We all had a great time. It was especially enlightening for my younger cousins since they experienced how it was to live in a joint family for the first time. The smile that emerged on their faces as they received gifts and cash from all the elders was worth a sight.

Things We Should Take Care Of

Needless to say, Diwali is a time of gaiety and celebration for a lot us. But keeping in mind certain things as we welcome the festival would ensure that the underprivileged and voiceless are also able to make joy during the festive time.

We should keep a check on the amount of crackers we burn since they pollute the environment. Also, it might be tough for people with any respiratory issues to cope. Crackers are also a threat to stray animals.

Instead of buying decorative items and household stuff imported from other countries, if we stick to buying domestically-manufactured items, small and medium businessmen will also be able to make the most of Diwali.

Helping the needy never harms. During the festival time, when the privileged lot is celebrating, they should also make an effort to share their happiness with those in need.
