Created by Indigo Editing\, sponsors of the annual 36-Hour Sledgehammer
Writing Contest\, the mini-Sledgehammer works on similar lines.
Participants will be given 4 writing prompts\: a character\, a fragment of
dialogue\, an action\, and a prop. A timer will be set for 36 minutes.
Each participant will produce a new work of fiction on the spot\, using
the prompts provided\, before the timer runs down. All work must be new\,
and produced especially for this contest. There is no minimum or
maximum length. At the end of 36 minutes\, participants will read their
stories aloud for the audience and our panel of judges\, which will
include a representative of St. Johns Booksellers. Entries will be judged for
completeness\, overall quality of writing\, and best use of all prompts.
Judges’ decisions are final. Prizes include a copy of Ink-Filled Page\,
Indigo Editing's yearbook of fine writing\, and a St. Johns Booksellers
gift certificate.
Participation is limited to 10 writers\, on a first-come\, first-served basis. Signup opens at 6\:30pm.
While you are welcome to bring any writing device you regularly use\, all participants will receive a Moleskine pocket notebook.
