Council call to short story writers

Kildare County Council has invited submissions for the second volume of 'Stories for the Ear', its audio showcase for local writers.

The project is run by the Kildare Library & Arts Service and successful contributors will have their stories professionally recorded on CD and also put on the KLAS website.

Payment of €120 will also be made to each writer whose story is used, and each will also receive 10 copies of the CD.

Registration of interest should be made to the Assistant County Arts Officer, Eoghan Doyle, before Tuesday 8 June, at ekdoyle@kildarecoco.ie

The 2009 project was curated by local writer Neil Donnelly. It resulted in recorded stories from Aidan Higgins, Mae Leonard, Mary O'Donnell, Kate Dempsey, Maria Murphy, John MacKenna, Pete Hamilton, Dominic Cogan, Brian Byrne and Eileen Keane.

The stories were recorded in the Platform4 Recording Project at Leixlip Library by Des Cave, Ingrid Craigie, Pat Laffan and Deirdre Monaghan.

Copies of the CD are available free of charge from Riverbank, Main Street, Newbridge.
