Long Story Short
Hugo House is excited to invite our community back to Long Story Short–a volunteer run quarterly zine event! Join us for a four hour write-in where we will introduce a theme for the quarterly issue and provide prompts that writers are welcome to use (or come up with their own–as long as it fits the theme!). Everyone will be encouraged to submit one piece up to 500 words to be printed in the second issue of Long Story Short! Pieces must be under 500 words, adhere to the Mission Statement and community spirit of Hugo House, adhere to the theme of the issue, and must be submitted during the four hour event. Otherwise, anything goes!
Each submission will be hand-written on the spot, and submitted to Lauren, the editor-in-chief, to be typed up by volunteers for the issue. This event, including submission and publishing, are free to the public.
Doors open at 5 p.m.
Happy writing!
The House bar will be open to serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.Lauren Wainwright
