New York Story Night #81

New York Story Night is a literary community event based in Manhattan founded to provide creative writers, amateur and professional alike, a stage on which to share their stories and an audience with which to road test their works. Consider an open mic for stand-up tragedy, stand-up horror, stand-up drama if you will. A night of bedtime stories for adults.

For those who wish to share a story, please arrive before 6:50pm and sign-up for a reading slot. (Find Randy or Maria at the front of the second floor event space.) For those who wish to be an audience, get a drink, find a favored spot, chit-chat with fellow story lovers if you like!

At 7pm story night begins. Each writer gets 20 minutes in front of the microphone. (15 minutes for the story + 5 minutes for workshop/Q&A with the audience) We have a 10 minute intermission at the end of every hour.

Rules for stories:

• Stories must be under 15 mins (around 2,300 words)
• All stories must be written pieces
• Stories can be fiction or non-fiction but must contain a narrative arc
• No poetry, no essays
