to taste life anew.

Life is a pot of flavours and textures, infusing each other with vibrancy and purpose. It’s a sensual delight where one takes the pleasant with the bitter, the salty with the sweet, and the rich with the bland.

The Challenge

We invite any writers to produce a piece of poetry, fiction or non-fiction on the topic of Cooking.

The Guidelines

We cannot publish pieces or reward writers who self publish or publish at another publication, so those pieces have to remain external to the challenge. Only pieces submitted to Genius in a Bottle will be considered for the challenge. If inviting other writers from outside the publication, please ensure they are aware of this.

Poetry is to be limited to 30 lines but can be in any style.
Fiction and non-fiction submissions are to be capped at 750 words.

Please refer to the prompt in the subtitle. Feel free to copy this as a template: GiaB prompt # [insert prompt number and theme here].
