On Thursday 11th October 2012 Dorset Writers’ Network presents its first Story Slam, an open mic event celebrating fresh writing talent. Writers have the opportunity to showcase their work in front of a live audience and a panel of expert judges, including Bridport Open Book Festiva’s Writer in Residence, Rosie Jackson, and novelist Amanda Boulter.
Writers can register in advance via zomzara@googlemail.com (or turn up and register on the night). If there are more registered writers than time slots, the names will be entered into a draw. Each time slot is five minutes maximum – roughly 780 words. All genres and styles of original prose fiction welcome.
All this plus music from the Wrongo Bongo Band. The Beach & Barnicott is renowned for its good food, so come along early and grab a bite to eat, and then settle in for a brilliant night of stories and music. The action kicks off on Thursday 11th October, 5 at the Beach & Barnicott, Bridport, 8pm. Tickets available via the Beach & Barnicott and Bridport Arts Centre.
If you’d like more details about how to take part, please email zomzara@googlemail.com or go to www.dorsetwritersnetwork.co.uk/events.htm
