Number 7, by Anne Ryan (USA). 1948.
Ekphrastic Writing Challenge

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Anders Zorn writing challenge, which ends today.

The prompt this time is Number 7, by Anne Ryan. Deadline is October 5, 2018.

Everyone can participate! Try something new if you've never written from visual art before and discover why there are so many of us devotees. Ekphrastic writing helps artists and lovers of art to look more carefully, from different angles or mindsets, at visual art. And it helps writers discover new ways of approaching their work, their experiences, and writing itself. 

The rules are simple.

The Rules

1. Use this prompt as a springboard for your writing. It can be a poem or short prose (fiction or nonfiction.) You can research the painting or artist and use your discoveries to fuel your writing, or you can let the image alone provoke your imagination.

2. Write as many poems and stories as you like.

3. Have fun.

4. Send only your best results to [email protected]. 

5. Include ANNE RYAN CHALLENGE in the subject line so that your submission doesn't get lost in the sea of emails.

6. Include your name and a brief bio.

7. Deadline is October 5, 2018.

8. Please do not send revisions, corrections, or changes to your poetry or your biography after the fact. If it's not ready yet, hang on to it until it is.

9. Selected submissions will be published together, with the prompt, following the deadline.

​10. Rinse and repeat with upcoming ekphrastic writing challenges!

Hi Lorette,
Do you send confirmation emails upon receiving submissions? I'm only asking because I have an odd email that sometimes goes into spam folders and I sent out a submission back in July and thought maybe it wasn't received as I hadn't heard anything one way or the other. Of course, there is the possibility it didn't make the cut. Which just makes me want to try harder - she says with a persistent grin.
I also must mention, I love viewing the work on this site.
Thanks for all you do. :-)

Julie
