What is Sparked?
Sparked is a themed literary magazine which is dedicated to publishing pieces originally written for prompts published here at Notebooking Daily or for one of the quarterly "Three Things" prompts that 3Elements Literary Review publishes, or a monthly Rattle Ekphrastic Challenge or from a current news story for Rattle's Poets Respond or Furious Fiction or Writer's Digest's Poetic Asides blog or r/WritingPrompts or Contemporary Verse2's 2-Day Poetry Contest and many more. Here is a link to our current 'prompting partners' but we're always looking to expand the community!
