Writers are invited to submit a prose piece of up to 750 words in length on any subject, to create a ‘museum of Lewesian reality’ (inspired by Paul Auster's collection True Tales of American Life):

We are looking for stories. The stories have to be true, and they have to be short, but there are no restrictions as to subject matter or style. We are interested in stories written by people who live in or around Lewes now, but the stories do not have to be about Lewes; we are interested in anecdotes that reveal the mysterious and unknowable forces at work in our lives, in our family histories, in our minds and bodies, in our souls. In other words, true stories that sound like fiction. 

Criteria for submissions: contributors must live in or around Lewes.
Deadline: 31 March 2015
One hard copy and/or an emailed version to: 

The Frogmore Press

21 Mildmay Road

Lewes, BN7 1PJ

and/or frogmorepress@gmail.com

Please mark all submissions ‘TALES’.

A committee comprising editors at Frogmore and life writing specialists at the CLHLWR will consider all submissions in making their selection.

The Centre for Life History & Life Writing Research at the University at Sussex explores life narrative as art, history and social practice.
