We’re writing from 11AM, Saturday, September 27-7 PM Sunday, September 28 (BST).
To celebrate twenty years of the BBC Short Story Awards, each hour, we will have a prompt provided by a BBC Short Story Award Writer or Cambridge University Centre for Creative Writing. Drop in for as long or as little as you’d like.
Whether you’re writing a poem, short story, flash fiction, novel, or creative nonfiction, writing for the stage, screen, or radio, you’re welcome to write with us.
We’ll be on Zoom. You could be anywhere.
