Guided Prompt Journals

Writing prompts can be a very useful tool. When you're having trouble getting started, they can help you break through writers block and get words on the page. They're also helpful for seeing different sides of the characters and settings in your existing stories, to examine new angles of real-life events for creative nonfiction writers, and as avenues of self-discovery for memoir writers.

Each Scribble House prompt journal contains 25-50 themed writing prompts to spark your creativity. You can get them in print book form, with lined pages between the prompts for writing, or in digital form as interactive PDFs. Click the plus sign beside each title to see the full details and how to get a copy.

Note: If you'd like to use any of our prompt books for a class, workshop, or other educational setting, shoot us an email at ScribbleHousePGH@gmail.com! We're happy to do a bulk discount for educators and community groups.

Saved as Draft: A Journal in Unsent Letters
In the era of instant communication, it's rare for people to write letters. But this form of writing can often give you a different perspective on your memories and how you frame them--even if those letters never get sent. The 26 prompts in this guided journal are all framed as letters to people, places, and objects. They can be a tool for self-discovery, for creative non-fiction writers to find new angles or perspectives to approach their work, or for fiction writers to dig deeper into the psyche and background of their characters.
