Literati!

A Word with You Press is pleased to announce that we now will be hosting DimeStories,

and we highly recommend that you check them out and consider opening a chapter on your part of the planet.

It works like this:  You read a story to your group and have exactly three minutes to tell a complete story with a beginning, middle, and an ending.  At three minutes the guillotine falls, chopping your ego and unread words sometimes in mid senten…   You get the idea.

Soooo. You local Literati: Meet at the towers that are A Word with You Press  Friday, February 15th at 6:00 and every third Friday forever to participate.  The best stories are audio recorded and sent to Dime Stories International in Albequirckie New Mexico, where they are put in a giant centrifuge and spun, a bit like the stone in David’s sling.  The best stories make it to public radio.  Because like David’s sling. They rock.

Thornton Sully

Thornton Sully has Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, and picking up stray stories along the way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, as the founder in 2009 of A Word with You Press, dedicated to helping you tell your story persuasively and with passion, it’s not likely he will stray too far from the towers that are A Word with You Press, now located in the Bohemian village of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic, except, perhaps, for an occasional swim in the Aegean. Authors who have sought his advice have won major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Isabel Allende Miraposa Award for new fiction, and the Best Poetry Award from San Diego Writers' Awards. "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." Thornton Sully, plagiarizing E.B. White

    Cool event. I saw a few old “friends” on the Dime Site. Who’s the emcee at Lestat’s? I know who’s doing THAT dastardly deed at AWWYP! Wish I could find the portal and join you all. . .
