About the Event
Join us via Zoom for a Purple Prose flash contest (and if there's time, an online write-in).
Read your one-page entry and dazzle us with your skill at crafting overwrought prose. Wikipedia defines purple prose as "overly ornate prose text that may disrupt a narrative flow by drawing undesirable attention to its own extravagant style of writing."
Why have a purple prose contest?
It's fun.
It's interactive.
It helps us learn what to do by showing us what not to do.
