We at Cactus Cancer Society believe that a writer is someone who writes, no matter how much experience you have writing. As part of our ongoing work to keep your creative juices flowing, we offer weekly journal prompts delivered right to your inbox. While our commitment to offering you creative, quality writing prompts remains the same, you’ll be seeing a few new names in your inbox as the authors of these prompts!
Our previous author and Cactus Cancer Society program mainstay, Jean Rowe, has hand-picked these individuals, so we know you’ll love them as much as we do. Please give a warm welcome to the following authors:
