To keep the creativity flowing, join our online community, Prompt Incubator. Listeners can use prompts from our episodes–even the ones not selected–and generate their own original stories. Share your work, like your favorites, and even submit your own prompt ideas for future episodes. The Incubator is a space to give and receive feedback, to connect with the writing community, and explore how stories originate and expand.

If you’re a reader, writer, lover of stories, or simply curious about the creative process, Plot Lab is for you. Join us every two weeks as our guest author chooses their favorite prompt from which to build a new story. We’ll explore our infinite sources of inspiration, elements of story–like character, dialogue, and what’s at stake–and offer a glimpse into the creative process.

Plot Lab, from spark to story.
