What stories are being written in Folkestone right now?

Folkestone Voices is an open-call showcase taking place Thursday 19 November, 4pm - 5pm, celebrating the creativity flourishing across our town. Fifteen writers will be selected to take to the stage, with three minutes each to share an unpublished poem, extract, true story or piece of work in progress.

Whether you are an experienced writer, a first-time performer or someone with a story you have been quietly shaping, we want to hear from you.

Apply by Sunday 1 November via the author ballot below for the chance to share your original work with a live audience.
