We are open until 23.59 on Sunday 29 September for your submissions to the next SSS event on Sunday 10 November 2019
We will close at the end (23.59 ie one minute to midnight) of Sunday 29 September.
Our event will be on Sunday 10 November 2019 at the Cotswold Playhouse in Stroud. (There's a new start time - 7.30. Doors open at 7.00).
This event is part of the Stroud Book Festival, so if you want to read to an audience of 150 people at the Festival you know what you have to do...
It is an open theme this time. Let your imagination be your guide and write about anything you like - so long as it's a short story up to 1,500 words.
As usual we will select ten stories to be read by their authors on the night.
It's free to submit and we accept both unpublished and published work.
Check out the Rules and How to Submit here.
I have a new co-judge this time. The brilliant short story author Chloe Turner, who has read four times at SSS, is making the decisions with me. Chloe's first collection of stories Witches Sail in Eggshells, has just been published by Reflex Press.
More info on the judges here.
All stories are read by both judges and the judging process is undertaken 'blind' ie without knowing the identity of the authors of the stories until after the final decision is made.
Check out the Rules and How to Submit here.
Don't miss a thing about submitting or buying tickets by subscribing to SSS newsletters here. It's free - and easy to unsubscribe.
We can't wait to start reading your stories.
NB Tickets, priced at £8, for the 10 November event will go on sale from Friday 11 October on the Cotswold Playhouse website. Our last 13 events all sold out in advance.
