Tall Tales and Modern Fables

Tall Tales and Modern Fables is a free, quarterly magazine featuring previously unpublished short stories from new writers in the Brighton and Hove area.

Visit the magazine at www.talltalesmagazine.co.uk. You can browse the current edition, submit a story of your own and leave feedback.

Tall Tales and Modern Fables hopes to encourage writers in the local area to submit their best short stories, even if (especially if) they have never submitted a story for publication before.

Full submission guidelines can be found on the website.

Contribution

Starting at Hove Library from 1-24 April, ‘Contribution’ displays the pictures alongside views and thoughts of the people shown about their experiences of Brighton & Hove.

All except one of the 21 people featured in the exhibition live in Brighton & Hove, and one works in the city.

The photographs and text were put together by Beth Harrison of Brighton and Hove Black History.

Beth explained: “We wanted to bring black history up to the present day by doing a simple exhibition that showed how Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) people are contributing to the city now.

“BME people are often portrayed in a stereotypical way that can underrate their contribution, so our exhibition aims to show individuals for who they are.”

The exhibition can also be seen at Patcham Library (1-30 May); Whitehawk Library (10-26 June); Hangleton Library (4-30 July); and Jubilee Library (4-30 August).
