SHORT FICTION OPEN MIC SLAM

Is your short story worth £50? Why not read it aloud and let the audience and our panel of judges decide?

HOW IT WORKS

Write a 4-minute story to read aloud (350-400 words maximum). Would-be competitors’ names are drawn from a hat if we can’t fit everyone in. The audience and judges vote for a winner. Runner-up prizes include copies of our latest issue. Entry (for both authors and audience) is free.

TIPS

• Practice your story before the slam – the time limit is absolute
• Try to end with a bang
• Stories of any genre / style are welcome
• Remember the title and interpret as you wish
