Open Mic Slam Creative Writing, Poetry and Flash Fiction

October 6 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

- £10.00 at Ropetackle Arts Centre


Creative writers and people who enjoy hearing new work are invited to come along for a fun open mic slam.  Writers can read from their original work of fiction, poetry or flash fiction for a maximum three minutes, selected randomly before each half.

A panel comprising our Creative Writing tutors: Sue Walker (fiction prose), John McCullough (poetry) and Anika Carpenter (flash fiction) will comment positively on the readings and will then select their favourite in each category for a special Wordfest prize!

This event is open to all.  You do not need to attend the Creative Writing Workshops in advance.


Local writers and poets are welcome to bring copies of their work for display but must take responsibility for any sales. Please let us know if you want us to allocate some space for you: general@shorehamwordfest.com subject – Slam books
