The Brighton Moment

A couple of years ago I hosted a night called The Brighton Moment as part of the Brighton Festival Fringe. Brighton is full of writers. The idea was to get some of them to write a piece about an event that, for them, defined Brighton... true stories set in a time and place, part of a continuing obsession of mine. A bunch of writers including Mick Jackson, CJ Sansom, Marek Kohn and Susanna Jones took part.

This year Susanna has taken up the idea and made much more of it, and the writers will include Jeff Noon, Julie Burchill, Helen Zahavi, Alison MacLeod and more, and I'm doing a little piece too. The Brighton Moment is at the Sussex Arts Club, 2 Ship Street, this week on May 2 at 7.3pm. Tickets are £5.

MORE! Send me MORE! Un-MADE-Up eats stories. If you've enjoyed the work published here on Un-Made-Up, maybe you'd like to add to this collection. If you have a true story that you would like to submit to Un-Made-Up please send it to me. The stories don't have to have a punchline, they don't have to be dramatic, they don't have to be funny, they don't have to make a point, they don't even have to be autobiographical; they must be under 1,000 words long, they must tell a story of some sort - however small - and above all they must, of course, be true.

If you are an illustrator or photographer who would like to add your take to one of the stories, please get in touch with me, William Shaw..
