During the Covid-19 lockdown, we have moved to having Zoomx9 events.
We would so š§”šš¤ā¤ļø to meet you on Zoom to share stories.
The next online event is…


Here’s the drill…
- You probably know the score: download Zoom to your computer.
- Then sign-up to join the next Tenx9 at the link above.
- We only have 100 places for participants, so please only register if you know you can make it.
- If you have a Tenx9 story to submit for one of our Zoom events, you can fill in the form at the bottom of the page.
Submitting a story for Tenx9 Nashville Zoom events.
Youāll get more information about the kinds of stories weāre 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 isnāt for reminiscences, or summaries of your whole life story, or reflections on whatās important, inspirational talks, or sermons or manifestoes. Those forms are brilliant! but theyāre not what Tenx9 is about.
- For Tenx9 over Zoom, weāre interested in stories that are a little shorter than the normal ten minute limit. On Zoom, we will have six people with up to seven minutes each. Thatās about 700-1000 words per story when written.
- Make sure you know the theme!
- When it comes to your story, within a sentence or two, we want to be wondering āWhatās going to happen next?ā or āWhat happened before?ā
- Thereās no need to have give any introduction. Just drop us into a true story! āThe last day I saw my friendā¦ā or āWhen preparing for a holiday, never forget your passportā¦ā
- You donāt need to give us a conclusion either: āThe thing this story taught me isā¦ā 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 āthe clever sisterā āthe man with the bad tieā and āthe strangerā 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 thatās lovely, make sure youāve read the editorial guidelines! We can tell within 10 seconds if you havenāt!)
