We haven't had one of these in a while. There are 41 themes to peruse for writing ideas. Many genres, fiction, poetry, nonfic. Publications and contests. Time-sensitive.

Some of the calls are: bleak midwinter; solarpunk; double; women and the sea; Sherlock is a girl’s name; food; crack in the code (robots going off programming); dark rainbow rising (LGBTQ+ horror); science fiction tarot; and oceans. Also see this list from last month, for a few upcoming themed calls.

Find the themes and prompts here: 41 THEMES

(also, the link for last month's list is in the quote, since I don't think I posted it in August)
