The Bridport Story Slam will take place on Tuesday 14 October at the Beach & Barnicott, South Street, Bridport at 19.15 for a 19.30 start.
This event is part of Bridport Open Book Week and provides an excellent opportunity for Dorset prose writers to present their work.
Register in advance (frances.colville@gmail.com) or turn up on the night. The names of all those wanting to read their work will be put in a hat, and ten drawn during the evening. Each time slot is five minutes maximum - roughly 750 words. To ensure fairness to all competitors, this time limit will be strictly enforced! All genres and styles of original prose fiction are welcome. Please note this is not a poetry event.
Tickets available only on the door at £5.00 each. Any profits from the evening will go to charity.
Event compere is Declan Duffy with two judges deciding on the best entries, giving feedback and awarding prizes including tickets for a future event at Bridport Arts Centre and publication on the Dorset Writers' Network website.
The Beach & Barnicott is renowned for good food, so come early and have something to eat before settling in for a brilliant night's entertainment.
