The City of Norwich wants to
see your writing!
City of Stories is a new campaign which celebrates Norwich,
UNESCO City of Literature and the people and places that
make this fine city so wonderful. If you’re a writer who loves, lives
in, or has some connection to Norwich, Visit Norwich would like you to
submit your city themed writing – you could have your work showcased
online and in print.
We know that you are the city’s best storytellers, and Visit Norwich would
like to give you the chance to share your work across the streets of
Norwich. If your submission is successful your work will be published
digitally, and appear in the real world on beer mats and posters,
giving you valuable exposure.

Want to see your work
displayed in Norwich? Here’s what and how you can submit:
1. Write a quote
(max 60 words) – We would love to hear why Norwich is special to you.
Perhaps your first memory of the city, or your most recent; perhaps a
facet of Norwich you find enchanting, or a reason why you’ll keep
coming back. These quotes could be used across beermats, posters,
writing pads and online.
2.
Write some beermat flash fiction or poetry (max 60 words) – What better
time to ponder a story, get lost in your imagination or discuss the
meaning of a poem with your friends than while having a drink? We’d
like people to turn over their beer mats and find a great (yet small)
piece of creative writing. Whatever you decide to write, there is only
one stipulation: it must fit on a beermat.
3. Write
a longer piece set somewhere in Norwich city centre – Once people have
come to Norwich and discovered some of the places that they’ve heard
(and not heard) about, what better way to immerse them in the
experience than to give them a short story about the very place that
they’re in? If there’s a spot in Norwich city centre that inspires you,
we’d love you to write a short story set there. These can be of any
length.
4.
Create a piece of beermat art (dimensions 94 x 94mm) – We would love to
inspire people who have never been to Norwich with some of the city’s
best contemporary art, created by the artists that live and work here.
What you design is up to you – it could be inspired by Norwich, tell a
story about the city, or be of a subject of your choosing – we ask only
that it’s the size of a beermat.

If you’re a successful
contributor:
You will be invited to the City of Stories launch party on the 18th August,
where you’ll hear more about the City of Stories campaign and hear some
of the Norwich tales. There’ll be good food, great company, and plenty
of culture- much like the city itself!
Of course, you’ll also get to see your work published across the city,
and online, sharing your art and writing across Norwich and further
afield.
