THERE are only a few days left in which to submit a tale for the next Stroud Short Stories evening.

The entry deadline for the November 20 event at SVA, John Street is on Saturday at 23.59 - one minute to midnight.

Submissions are free and open to Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire writers.

Ten stories will be selected to be read by their authors.

The last six events have sold out so there's every chance that entrants will read to an audience of 70.
