Thank you again to everyone who was involved in our virtual Telltales in May, which is still available as a recording below.

For Telltales on 28 July we’re inviting submissions on the theme of Summer Sun.

Submissions are open until Friday 24 July for poetry, prose, short stories and excerpts from longer works. Please think in terms of around 1500 words maximum, which is around 10 minutes. We look forward to hearing from you.

Please submit on this page or via email to info@telltales.org.uk

If your submission is accepted we will ask you to record your piece on your computer or phone and send it to us as a sound file, to include in the virtual Telltales event.

Instead of meeting at our usual venue in Falmouth, we will again be putting Telltales online.
