Stroud Short Stories Event 'What Makes a Monster & Other Stories' held on Sunday 11 November
Special thanks to the ten brilliant authors (see snaps below) whose work we selected and who read/performed so wonderfully. Although, of course, I'd read all the stories before, some of the performances took my breath away.
The theme of the spring 2019 event will be INCENDIARY! so we'll be looking for stories about fire, heat, smoke, burning, passion, inflaming, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, bombs, subversion - both literally and metaphorically. We will open for submissions in January or February.
The SVA say we have 'outgrown' their venue so our next event will be elsewhere - venue yet to be decided.
Some copies of our new 2015-18 Anthology are still available. Info here.
If you don't want to miss out on ticket sales or submission opportunities please subscribe to SSS emails. (It's easy to unsubscribe if you change your mind).
Here are Sunday's ten authors - in the order in which they read/performed.
Thank you, Angela & Ken Fitch for the images -
