Welcome, writers!
This space is for the tremors. For what comes after. For those of us who write from the margins, the wreckage and the edge of reinvention.
Every day, you’ll receive a writing prompt from The Aftershock Review—a spark drawn from survival, grief, rage, resilience, and everything we build after breaking. You don’t have to be a poet. You don’t have to be healed. You just have to begin.
Some prompts are gentle. Some are furious. All are designed to shake something loose.
Save them. Skip them. Use them out of order. There are no rules, just resonance.
If you want to share your work, tag us in a note or post or reply to the email. We may feature select responses (with your permission) in future roundups.
We’re so glad you’re here.
