We would so đ§Ąđđ¤â¤ď¸ to meet you in person to share stories.
Submitting a story for Tenx9 Nashville events.
Youâll get more information about the kinds of stories weâre looking for at our editorial guidelines, but briefly,
- We want one true story from your life. Each part of that is important. One story. True. From your own life.
- Tenx9 isnât for reminiscences, or summaries of your whole life story, or reflections on whatâs important, inspirational talks, or sermons or manifestoes. Those forms are brilliant! but theyâre not what Tenx9 is about.
- Stories need to be at 10 minutes or shorter. There will be 9 stories and we will have a break after the third and sixth stories.
- Make sure you know the theme!
- When it comes to your story, within a sentence or two, we want to be wondering âWhatâs going to happen next?â or âWhat happened before?â
- Thereâs no need to have give any introduction. Just drop us into a true story! âThe last day I saw my friendâŚâ or âWhen preparing for a holiday, never forget your passportâŚâ
- You donât need to give us a conclusion either: âThe thing this story taught me isâŚâ We can probably guess that already, and there are probably heaps of different things different people will take from your story.
- If there are a few characters, help us. Using âthe clever sisterâ âthe man with the bad tieâ and âthe strangerâ is going to make it easier for the audience than remembering who Desmond, Cuthbert, and Hephzibah are.
- You can send us your story outline (or have us phone you) for an editorial chat. You can send us a document on tenx9nashville(@)gmail.com. (Please, in the name of all thatâs lovely, make sure youâve read the editorial guidelines! We can tell within 10 seconds if you havenât!)
