Stories from the Jukebox

Announcing a new publication!

Dear readers,

Thanks for your continued support! Starting this week, The Southern Copywriter blog will be publishing once a week. I’ll continue to publish Sunday’s newsletter for all my free subscribers, as well as the occasional paid-subscriber-only post. Wednesday’s newsletter will now be published from my new publication, Stories from the Jukebox! It is my hope that all of you will find your way over to this new publication — writers, you’ll now get your shot at a new writing prompt each week that’s just begging for your prose. And readers, you’ll want to subscribe too — I’ve got a feeling that there’s going to be some great stories shared here!

Happy Writing & Reading! -MJ

Welcome to Stories from the Jukebox!

Where each week we will visit one of the greatest songs of all time. If you’re like me, music has inspired you over and over again throughout your life. At Stories from the Jukebox—with your help, we’ll turn those songs into prose that will tell a new story, your story.

Here’s how it works:

• Each Wednesday I’ll publish a newsletter with that week’s song prompt—along with a featured writer’s submission from the previous week.

• Anyone is then free to run with it! Just add the link to your story or prose in the comments of the newsletter.

• Subscribers to Stories from the Jukebox, also have a chance to be featured in the following week’s newsletter. And I’ll do my best to give feedback and restack each submission.

There will be some rules:

1. All forms of prose are welcome, just keep it under 1500 words.

2. Submissions must be published by midnight on Sunday.

3. Submissions must include a tag/link to that week’s Song Prompt Newsletter embedded within the post.

   All rules must be followed for a post to be eligible to be featured or shared.
