Event Description

Whether you love reading and discussing literature, but don’t have a lot of time on your hands, or you’re particularly interested in short fiction, why not join us for Short Story Club?

Like a book club – only with less to read! – this monthly social event brings literature lovers together to talk about a short story (or two): including what we like about it, what we don’t, how it was crafted, and even some of the historical context surrounding it. There will also be a chance to nominate a story for upcoming sessions.

This is an ideal event for readers, writers, and even those just in the mood for a chat.

The article below will hopefully give you a good idea of what we've covered in past sessions:https://restless.co.uk/leisure-and-lifestyle/art-and-culture/tales-from-the-rest-less-short-story-club-2023-24/

There will be no Short Story Club event this April. However, we will resume in May.

  • Duration: 60 mins
  • Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (no replay available)

More Information

What if I can’t make the event?

If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.

How do I watch the live event?

Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.

How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)

Book the event as normal (as if you are attending live). After the event ends you will automatically receive a post-event email with a link to the recording, as long as the event was recorded. You do not need to do anything else and there is no separate booking process for recordings only. Please note it can take up to 24 hours for Zoom to process recordings.
