Ten authors will read their work to a capacity audience of 70 short story lovers at 8pm on Sunday 11 November at the SVA in John Street, Stroud, GL5 2HA. This event is part of the Stroud Book Festival.

If you want an idea of what kind of stories we like (and we do like lots of different styles) listen to the authors reading their work at previous events here.
TIP! - Remember it's a live lit event. Complex multi-dimensional stories and stories with many voices and lots of dialogue are not best suited to a live reading.
I am delighted to have inveigled the brilliant author and publishing guru Debbie Young to judge with me for the third time. Check out more info about the judges using the tab above or here.
We guarantee that all stories are read by both judges. We love reading your stories.
