New York Story Night 84

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 Aïss 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 We encourage you to email us at newyorkstorynight@gmail.com if you have questions or concerns on if your story is a good fit for our event.
