Throwback Thursday Week Six

Good morning, Prosers!

Another week has passed within a blink of an eye, and we find ourselves on week six of our Throwback Thursday Blog. Wowsers!

This week has seen our exciting and brand-spanking-new collaborative challenge of the week launch, with our friend Luke over at micropoetry.com (@pssms on Twitter). We have noticed so many more of you sharing your awesome words on Twitter and we have been retweeting you all. You certainly know how to keep us on our toes.

You still have a couple of days to enter this challenge and get your hands on $100 or $25 for being runner up. Get scribbling and sharing, pronto! We always want to share everything you write, so please ensure that you tag us with the @theproseapp username so that we know.

You may remember the challenge we ran in the feedback Portal a while back where we asked you what you'd do with Prose if you owned it. @emilyreads247 suggested tips, a place to share your novel writing ideas, journeys, and where we can share information with you from industry experts.

You will be pleased to know that yesterday we launched a Novel Writing Portal specifically for this. Not only did we launch the Portal, but we posted an interview we conducted with New York Book Editors. How's about that? We will, over the coming weeks and months, work hard to get more of these industry interviews, including pieces like “how to write a perfect pitch.”

As always, if you have any suggestions for new Portals, or blog pieces you'd like to read, get in touch with us, we love to hear from you.

And one last thing, Prosers. Stay tuned, as later today we’ll be launching an Elections 2016 portal, where you can all have your say and share your views in writing challenges about why each of the five main candidates should and shouldn’t be elected!
