The Word Cabaret, a reading and performance series based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York, is looking to showcase new dystopian, utopian, speculative, afro-futurist or visionary fiction set in an urban landscape, preferable New York City for its event called: SPECULATIVE VISIONS-New Fangled Futuristic Fiction.
Previously published stories are fine, but the narratives should have strong characters and use dialogue frequently to carry the story because the chosen work will be directed and acted by professional NYC actors on Sunday, Oct. 7 in Brooklyn. Stories should be forward-looking, imaginative, and compelling attempts to grapple with present-day issues and problems by projecting the consequences into a yet-unseen future.
The deadline is August 15, 2018. Writers are not required to attend, though their presence is welcome. (As an all-volunteer organization, unfortunately we cannot offer financial compensation.) Please send your work (up to 10 pages) and a short bio to:
wordcabaretATgmailDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )
by August 15.
Brooklyn-based writers interested in participating in future Word Cabaret events are welcome to send samples of their work (5-10 pages maximum) and a short bio to:
WordCabaretATgmailDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )
