SMALL WONDER COMPETITION<br />
Charleston’s annual short story festival, Small<br />
Wonder, takes place at the end of <strong>September</strong>, and<br />
the organisers have given us three pairs of tickets<br />
for the opening evening’s events to give away as<br />
competition prizes (each worth £20).<br />
There are two events scheduled on Wednesday<br />
the 27th of <strong>September</strong>; both will include readings<br />
from the authors and a Q&A afterwards. From<br />
6-7pm Arifa Akbar chairs a session entitled Let<br />
Me Count the Ways with Rowan Hisayo Buchanan<br />
and Gwendoline Riley on the subject of ‘Love’;<br />
from 7.45-8.45pm Cathy Galvin introduces David<br />
Constantine and Kit de Waal (right), in a session<br />
entitled Protest: Stories of Resistance.<br />
The festival takes place from Weds 27th till<br />
Sunday October 1st, and as usual there are a host<br />
of star names included in the programme, from<br />
Mark Haddon (see pg 47) to David Szalay; as well<br />
as Q&A sessions<br />
and readings, there<br />
are two creative<br />
writing workshops,<br />
a reading salon and<br />
a reading group.<br />
There is, of course,<br />
food and drink, and<br />
a shuttle service<br />
from <strong>Lewes</strong> and<br />
Brighton stations.<br />
All you have to do<br />
to stand a chance of being drawn out as a winner is<br />
to answer this question: what is the name of Mark<br />
Haddon’s 2003 best-selling novel? Please send<br />
your answer, with the subject line 'Small Wonder',<br />
to hello@vivamagazines.com. For competition<br />
terms and conditions see vivamagazines.com.
