As part of the first Dorchester Literary Festival, the Dorset Writers’ Network are hosting a Young Writers’ Story Slam at Dorchester Library on Saturday 24 October, 2pm. Writers from 11-16 years are invited to enter the story slam by reading a story of up to 500 words. Please email pat@dorsetwritersnetwork.co.uk to register and turn up on the day. Names will be drawn from a hat and, when everyone has read, the three judges will withdraw to decide on the winners. Every reader will get the judges’ feedback on their story. The winner will become Young Story Slam Winner 2015. (Parental consent is required.)

Story Slam in Shaftesbury, North Dorset
In the tradition of a poetry slam, where poetry is recited, a story slam encourages prose writers to take the stage and read their work. Events are informal and fun, with feedback from judges and applause from the audience. The idea is to enjoy sharing stories from a range of genres with a wider audience and prizes are awarded. In July, Storyslingers in Shaftesbury are holding their first story slam event and would be very pleased to have you join them.
