Writing Prompt - September 2026
Established by Lone Star Publishing in 1984, September is the observance of Be Kind to Writers and Editors Month! Share your favorite authors & editors on social media, read their blogs, join their street teams, write honest reviews, and send them a kind comment; engage with them in uplifting ways. Everyone appreciates hearing when their efforts have been genuinely enjoyed, especially knowing that no work will ever resonate with or appeal to everyone. Re-read your favorite book(s) on September 6th to celebrate National Read a Book Day, then laud your favorite comic(s) on September 25th for National Comic Book Day.
Whether you're clinging to the remnants of summer or gleefully embracing autumn, remember to hydrate during your reading breaks!
