Welcome to Stories from the Jukebox!
Where each week we will visit one of the greatest songs of all time. If you’re like me, music has inspired you over and over again throughout your life. At Stories from the Jukebox—with your help, we’ll turn those songs into prose that will tell a new story, your story.
Here’s how it works:
Each Wednesday I’ll publish a newsletter with that week’s song prompt—along with a featured writer’s submission from the previous week.
Anyone is then free to run with it! Just add the link to your story or prose in the comments of the newsletter.
Subscribers to Stories from the Jukebox, also have a chance to be featured in the following week’s newsletter. And I’ll do my best to give feedback and restack each submission.
There will be some rules:
All forms of prose are welcome, just keep it under 1500 words.
Submissions must be published by midnight on Monday.
Submissions must include a tag/link to that week’s Song Prompt Newsletter embedded within the post.
All rules must be followed for a post to be eligible to be featured or shared.
So if you’re a Poet, Fiction, or Non-Fiction writer or reader that loves music—Subscribe now to get full access to the newsletter and publication archives.
