Short and Sweet Challenge Winners (Updated 8/11/2023)
Write a love poem using only words with four letters or less. There are so many ways to restrict a writing prompt. We thought it would be fun to limit you to words with up to four letters. In our own attempts at this prompt, we found that it kept our poetry sharp and surprising. At its most basic, we thought of words then replaced them with shorter ones. But when the prompt was really working, it forced us to change whole stanzas or even entire poems.

Pitch Your Pilot Challenge Winners
It's a sad coincidence that this Challenge came out during the Hollywood writer's strike, but we've decided that the timing is perfect as maybe our Creators will want to jump into the writing game when the terms are set and the pay is more fair. So, consider this a practice pitch for the real thing, though in truth, so many of these were exceptional to the point that we'd love to see them on television. If only we had that power... Alas, we are just a team of writers and readers who love reading what you send us, though we did consult with a screenwriter for this contest (they aren't technically allowed to look at scripts at the moment so we'll keep their name a secret:)

Introducing New Communities: Chapters, Writers, Critique, and BookClub
When we first launched Vocal, we embarked on our journey with just six communities. Over the years, your invaluable feedback has guided us in introducing new communities centered around topics that sparked your interest and ignited your creativity. However, we recently made a striking realization - while we are a platform dedicated to writers, we lacked communities specifically designed for writers.
