Closing
date: August 5, 2019
Just over five years ago (2013) the
“Breakfast Club” at St Clements ran a short story competition. More than 100
stories were submitted, from which 50 stories were selected and included in a
booklet entitled Le petit dejeuner.
The competition was so popular that it was
repeated in the following three years le
petit dejeuner 1, 2 3. This year (2019) the competition will be
resurrected.
National Short Story Day: In celebration of
the shortest day of the year which falls on, or about June 21, 2019, the Mondays
at St Clements programme follows the
lead of a UK-wide celebration with the same name; an initiative aimed at
promoting fiction in its succinct form, focusing on South African writing that
lends itself to this tradition.
