Dear Friend,
Have you ever thought that Adelaide needed more adventure? Well you're in luck!
Expressions of interest (EOI) are now open for Story City - Adelaide, 2015.
We are looking for two Adelaide-based writers to join out production team this year to create two new choose-your-own-adventure-style stories in Adelaide CBD.
Each writer will be paid $1500 (inclusive of GST), and all short-listed writers will be invited to attend a PD workshop on digital writing and locative literature.
Applications close at Sunday 5pm 12th July 2015.
You can find out more about Story City - Adelaide 2015 below:
Stories To Be Launched September 2015
Story City are seeking TWO writers to participate in the project. The outcome of the project is to create location-based stories or adventures, meaning that each story section happens in the location the reader is standing.
In order to fill the brief, each story will need to utilise, play with or reveal elements of Adelaide’s real history, within its chosen fiction. This can be achieved in numerous ways, such as locating your fictional narrative in a historical version of Adelaide, or using historical information as story elements, or drawing on past events to add detail to the story. The more participants learn about Adelaide and its history, the better.
STORY CONSIDERATIONS
Adelaide City Council are commissioning two independent stories. Their main stipulation is that each story has to impart some historical information about the city and its heritage. How each writer engages with requirement is up to the individual author.
One of the stories should be an adventure that appeals to, and is appropriate for, a broad age audience, from children to grandparents.
The second story can, if the author wishes, engage with the darker and grislier side of Adelaide’s history and be suitable for a more mature audience. The content of the story still has to be suitable for ages 15+ but the topic can be more mature.
Writers are encouraged to give some thought to both possibilities for this Expression of Interest application.
We look forward to your applications. We have more EOIs due to go out in the next two months so stay tuned!
Warmly,
Emily
