Our theme for Telltales in June is “Hevva! Hevva!”
The Cornish phrase is the cry once heard from the cliffs when a shoal of pilchards was sighted, calling the fisherfolk to their boats.
For this theme we would be delighted to receive your written contributions on collaboration, harvest or abundance; on Cornish language and/or history; on folklore and traditions; on work in its many forms; on food and nourishment of the body, mind and soul.
We look forward to your creative input, whether in poetry, prose, short story or an excerpt from a longer work. Please think in terms of a maximum of 10 minutes of reading or around 1500 words.
Telltales will take place at Falmouth Art Gallery on Tuesday 28 June 2022, starting at 6pm.
If you would like to read, please submit your work by Saturday 25 June to
info@telltales.org.uk
Thank you!

Our theme for Telltales in April is Love Is…
What does love mean to you? Is it one thing or are there many different interpretations of the word?
Is love the same, whether on a global level, within a community, a family, a couple?
How does love make you feel? Is it something you can convey in words?
And is it about people, food, music, a place, a book, an experience, or something else?
We look forward to your creative input, whether in poetry, prose, short story or an excerpt from a longer work. Please think in terms of a maximum of 10 minutes of reading or around 1500 words.
Telltales will take place in the garden room, indoors at the Princess Pavilion, on Tuesday 26 April 2022, starting at 6pm.
If you would like to read, please submit your work by Saturday 23 April to info@telltales.org.uk
Thank you!

The theme for February’s Telltales is Resolution.
Have you made a resolution for this year? How’s it going so far?
Can you tell us about a blur or confusion that has became clear? Or do you have a tale of a problem resolved, a poem about a riddle, a piece of prose with a satisfying – or unresolved – solution?
Whatever your interpretation of this theme, we look forward to your creative input, whether in poetry, prose, short story or an excerpt from a longer work. Please think in terms of a maximum of 10 minutes of reading or around 1500 words.
Telltales will take place in the garden room, indoors at the Princess Pavilion, on Tuesday 22 February 2022, starting at 6pm.

How will you connect with this theme? Are you thinking about relationships and the multitude of connections and disconnections we make every day? Or perhaps Connection has transported you to nerve endings, timetables and digital messages?
Whatever your interpretation of this theme, we look forward to your creative writing.
