  • Stories on a postcard
    by Bald Man at 14:28 on 11 June 2013
    Can you write a story on a postcard? It can be a flash fiction type story, or a non-fiction incident or event that meant something to you.

    I work as a volunteer writer with Settle Stories, a charity in the UK that promotes storytelling and learning and organises a storytelling festival annually in Settle, North Yorkshire; this year from the 10th - 13th.

    Settle Stories is teaming up this year with Katha Kosa, a professional story teller in India, for a 'Stories on a Postcard' Challenge.

    The postcards will be displayed at the UK festival then sent to India to feature in an exhibition there - postcards from the UK will be linked with those from a similar event in India.

    A range of at least 30 postcards (photographs of them) will be published in a book and a favourite (as decided jointly by the Director of Settle Stories, Sita Brand and Katha Kosa) will receive a free copy of the book.

    Send your postcard, a maximum of 150mm x 120 mm or 6” x 4” , by the 15th September 2013 to:

    Settle Stories,
    Town Hall
    Marketplace
    Settle
    North Yorkshire
    BD24 9EJ
    United Kingdom

    You can get more information about Settle Stories and the festival from http://www.settlestories.org.uk/

    There is also an oral storytelling competition you can enter, too. See the website for more details.
