Solstice Shorts Video Cindy George and Pepper & Shepherd

Welcome to the latest video from the Solstice Shorts Festival.

Today we have Cindy George reading her Judge’s Favourite Story – With You Through The Night – a tale of growing up with the radio your only friend, and the late night phone-in… You can read the story for yourself in the book – Solstice Shorts: Sixteen Stories About Time.

And to go with, Pepper & Shepherd‘s Hopes & Fears, which seems like the right song for the story.

We are delighted to congratulate our twelve winners, who will receive various prizes including a surprisingly untacky trophy, and whose stories will be read at the festival, and published alongside a story from each of the judges in the forthcoming anthology, Solstice Shorts: 16 stories about time.

Five Judges Special Recommendations will be announced at the festival at SUNSET.

Thanks to everyone who took part (all 106 of you), we appreciate your interest in our festival which we hope is the first of many, so there will be other opportunities in the future.

Short-listed writers will receive brief feedback sometime next week.
