Stroud Short Stories

NEW ANTHOLOGY THIS YEAR + NEXT EVENT

Founded in 2011, and now with 15 years and 30 events behind us, it'll soon be time to publish our new anthology STROUD SHORT STORIES VOLUME FOUR 2022-2025 featuring 60 stories from our last 6 events by 40 Gloucestershire authors. We're currently editing and formatting the new anthology and planning an autumn launch event.

The next SSS event will be on Sunday 8th November 2026 at the Lansdown Hall in Stroud and will be part of the Stroud Book Festival. 

The theme is HEAT/HOT. Submissions open on Sunday 16 August and close on Sunday 27 September. I will be providing more information soon.

I am delighted to say that my co-judge this time will be award winning short story author and novelist Joanna Campbell. 

Watch this space for more news about submitting the next event and the book launch.
