Writing Prompts For June Stories
Topical & evergreen ideas to write about that editors want to see
Every month I do a think/write/submit writing exercise. I usually ‘think’ around 6 months ahead, but I’m catching up a bit. So while in February I’d normally be ‘thinking’ August, ‘writing’ July and ‘submitting’ June, I’m still only on ‘thinking’ June, but at least I’m catching up.
Once I’ve done the exercise, I put the file away for a few days and come back to it fresh. Then I choose around 5 ideas to pursue for myself, and I discard the others. I hate for those ideas to go to waste, though, so I ‘throw’ them out there for others to take up if they wish.
Here, then, are my ‘throwaway’ writing suggestions for June. I don’t think I’ll have time to do much with any of these, and those I think I might be able to rustle up have already been put to one side. (Remember to double-check the dates yourself as the source I used may have made a mistake.)
- 29 May — 2 June this year is Half Term Week in the UK (date-specific evergreen)
- June is Pride Month (evergreen — but look out for date-specific events that take place throughout the summer)
- 1 June every year is apparently World Milk Day (evergreen)
