Entering on July 17th?
Here’s a list of answers to FAQs that have been coming up
1) I have a story to enter, what should I do?
There are five spots left available for the London Literature Festival event. These are specifically for entry on the day and cannot be pre booked. If you have a story that you would like to enter go to the desk and fill in the entry form. If there are more entrants than places these will be placed in a draw. You will also be asked to sign a release form to allow us to use any AV material for promotional purposes. The compere will draw for the places at the start of the event, reading the names and running order of competitors.
2) My story is more than 5 mins, is that ok ?
No. Please make sure you practice as we operate a strict time limit at the event. Nothing is more frustrating for you as the author and the audience to be denied the denouement of the story because time has run out. There is a stop clock that counts down the time available and once it ends you must stop. Don’t do it to yourself.
3) What happens after I have read my story?
After you have read your story you will remain on stage to get feedback from our judges. Then it’s listening to the competition until the judges decide on the winner. The judges have the final decision on the winning entry. Their decision is based on the quality of writing and not live performance skills, although skilful delivery is key to engaging the audience.
4) What if I don’t get picked?
Most people who attend a story slam are amazed a the standard of the stories performed. Watch this time to see how this remarkable event works and how you can hone your story for next time. We are announcing our Autumn programme soon with many opportunities to showcase your work. Watch out for the dates and use the pre-booking function on this site to register for entry. Please note that this facility is open for the first five spaces available with another five available for door entry at each event.
Hope that’s clear. Any comments appreciated.
