What is the Brighton Prize?
The Brighton Prize is an annual short story prize run by Rattle Tales, Brighton’s interactive live literature night.
We started the prize in 2014 because we want to find exciting, challenging new writers, and bring their work to the Brighton stage.
What is Rattle Tales?
We are Brighton’s interactive live literature night.We put on regular shows in Brighton, in which new and established writers are given the chance to perform their work and discuss it with the audience. There are rattles to shake, friendly debate and good vibes.
We regularly play to packed houses at theBrunswick in Hove, and beyond. We ran the short story slam at Charleston House’s Small Wonder Festival in 2013 and 2014. We’ve put on a bespoke show in Noyelles sur Mer in France, and we were part of the 2013 Green Man Festival.
We’re spoken word with a difference: part stage performance, part lively writing workshop and part night in the pub.
