About

There are stories happening all around us, if only we take some time to sit and watch them unfold around us. Note it all down, submit it, and we'll write your snippets into new fictional stories that will be published on the Snippet blog.

Participants will be asked to walk and find somewhere to sit, ideally somewhere with lots of people or activity. Be open to what's going on around you, fill out three slips of paper titled describe a place, describe a person, note down snippets of conversation or speech. Photos, sketches etc are also welcomed.

Come along to the free workshop on Saturday 1st March (time to be announced). Meet in front of Bath Abbey. We will spend an hour observing the people, the places and the conversations that happen around us. These snippets will be collected at the end of the workshop and submitted to this blog. Some snippets will be selected as prompts to generate story ideas.

If you are a writer, get in touch for a chance at getting your writing published here.

More information:

Snippets will be photographed, or typed up, and published on the blog. Participants are invited to submit any other associated media, such as photographs or drawings. Selected writers will then use this material to generate an idea for a short story that will be published on the blog. Members of the public will be invited to write their own stories, be they generated from the provided snippets or from something they witnessed or observed on the streets of Bath or their local area. Particularly strong stories submitted by members of the public will be published here on the blog. 

This is part of Bath Literature Festival and is organised by Jennifer Bell, MA Creative Writing student at Bath Spa University.
