Stroud Short Stories

The Authors and Stories for our 8 November event THE HEAT IS ON + TICKETS

A record breaking number of authors (93) submitted stories for our 31st event. My co-judge Joanna Campbell and I have now considered the 109 stories. These are the authors who will read their stories for our event -

Georgia Boon - Without Summer

Robin Booth - Nightjars

Philip Douch - Michael

David Crane Embers - Decategorised

Lizzie Golds - Untethered

David Goodland - From Reds to Heaven

Jason Jackson - Nine Hundred and Eighty-two Degrees

Sophie Loose - Exchange

Mark Rutterford - Wearing Underwear for the First Time This Week

Steph Smith - The Ecdysiast

Huge congratulations to these authors. The competition was intense. It's going to be a great evening of short stories.

Very many thanks to Joanna Campbell for her brilliant judging.
