Canvas has permanently discontinued its Free for Teachers program. Murphy Writing will be in touch once we have finalized a permanent alternative. Thank you for your patience.
Join our free virtual writing community to gain access to writing prompts, space to share your writing and dedicated Write Times where you can write together, separately. Find community and connection, and be inspired to keep your writing moving forward.
about
Prompts
We’ve assembled an archive of nearly 200 writing prompts, which you can respond to in any genre or form. These are located under the “Assignment” category on our Canvas platform.
If you wrote with us previously, we encourage you to revise what you’ve written and to re-see any prompts you may have already responded to with fresh eyes.
Sharing
If you write in response to our prompts, we invite you to share your work and read what others have written in a discussion board format.
Write Time

If you are craving more accountability and structure, we will be hosting free virtual writing sessions over Zoom, a chance to virtually connect with other writers for some dedicated writing time. We will write together on Wednesdays at 7pm EST/EDT. You can join us using this link.
During each session, we will offer a prompt for you to respond to, but you will be free to write anything you wish.
Your host each Wednesday will be Juliet Fletcher, who has been a steadfast member of the Murphy Writing community for many years.
Questions + Feedback
If you have any questions or have trouble accessing the platform, email us at murphywriting@stockton.edu. If you have other ideas for ways we can help support you, our writing community, let us know.
Contribute
We’ve developed free programs to help our community keep writing and stay connected because we believe writing matters. If you’d like to support these offerings, we’ve set up a pass-the-hat link. Any contribution at all will help us keep going.
