You can now become a Storytime Collective Member for £6/month.
This gives you access to:
(1) Storytime Monthly Story Writing Competition
As suggested by its pithy title, this is a monthly story writing competition. There is a monthly prize of £100 for the best story.
To enter, you must submit a maximum 1500-word story by the last day of each month on a given theme that is only made available to Collective members on the first day of each month. Points for creativity, experimentation and risk-taking.
The writer of the best story (judged by appointed members within the collective) will receive a £100 prize each month and will have their story published on the website. They will get the opportunity to read at a future Storytime.
(2) Unplugged
Collective membership also gives you access to tickets for our monthly unplugged events. Only members will receive event details. These nights will be monthly on the second or third Saturday of the month (with votes taken on best availability) and have secret headliners, secret locations, with no phones or recordings or photographs taken. This was a lovely series over summer 2026 and will now continue on a monthly basis.
(3) Perks
Collective members will receive 10% discount codes for all events tickets and will receive full access to all stories read at the night here on our website. We will also upload all photos from the nights in the members-only parts of the website. Depending on interest, we will also roll out membership cards.
Finally, the first ten sign-ups will receive a free Storytime hat.
