Call for writers/storytellers 
Grown Up Story Time is an hour of funny, heartwarming, crazy, amazing stories read aloud. 

Where do those stories come from?....YOU

Our next show at Aeronaut Brewery is quickly approaching (April 26th) and we need stories... check out our Facebook event for more details about the show here or on the Boston Calendar here.

What we need from you: 
Stories!! Fact/Fiction - and everything in between, we want your stories! 

Do you have a classic go-to story you tell to all your new friends? A story that your significant other can recite verbatim? Are you a closeted Oprah fan fiction writer? Time to write it down and share it with a new audience. Or perhaps something you are embarrassed to tell but would make a great "Anonymous" submission. 

Stories that are chosen will be distributed among curated readers who will read them aloud at the next Grown Up Story Time event. See your story come to life and hear it with a new voice...

Tips to make your story stand out: 
Stories typically take from 3 to 10 minutes to read, which means max word count is about 1800 and shorter is definitely better (7-8 stories will be read at the event so time is a thing.) Think about your reader - punctuation/grammar should express your voice not your eight-grade English teachers (or your three year old brothers). We aren't judging just trying to make it easier on the reader. Topics? Anything goes. Remember this is Grown-Up story time. We can handle anything you throw at us. 

Please send stories to BostonGUST@bootown.org 14 days prior to the upcoming event.  (Suggested theme for the April 26th show is “Awakening” and deadline is April 12th.)  The show is monthly so the deadline is only important if you want to be considered specifically for the April event.
