We are delighted to invite you to the online launch of Riptide 14 – a collection of new powerful and thought-provoking short stories taking ‘collisions’ as its theme.
As acclaimed novelist and new Riptide board member Kit de Waal writes in the foreword, these ‘are stories about the fragility of mental health reflecting the catastrophic events of the last two years and stories of love and kindnesses that give us hope in an almost unrecognisable landscape.’
Always committed to bringing new writers to the fore, Riptide 14 has been produced through an exciting collaboration with University of Exeter’s new MA Publishing programme.
This online launch will be a fantastic opportunity to hear contributors read from their stories as well as connect to wider regional and international writing communities. We are looking forward to capturing online some of the atmosphere of our physical launch party, and with that spirit we welcome you to bring a drink of your choice and join us for an evening of short stories and celebration!
Cost: Free
Riptide is an Exeter-based literary journal founded in 2006 by Virginia Baily and Sally Flint.
Riptide publishes new writing by established and emerging writers. We are committed to providing a forum for high quality, innovative fiction, expanding the readership of the short story, and enhancing its standing. We aim to include new voices in every issue.
Riptide is currently collaborating with University of Exeter’s MA Publishing, working with postgraduate students through a process of practice-based research to produce, build readerships for, and curate conversations around an annual edition of the journal.
Riptide 14 is available to purchase via their website, or by popping into Bookbag.
