In the month of October, we are challenging our Facebook Writing Group to try out a new genre/subgenre. This month’s theme is Magical Realism:

Magical Realism is writing or art that presents a realistic worldview while incorporating magical elements that blur the lines.

As writers, it is important for us to read, watch, and try out styles that are outside our comfort zone, as it can lend us new tools to create our own work as we learn to bend the rules around genre, style, and craft. Below you will find the 15 prompts for October, as well as examples of Magical Realism at work in published writing.
