Novel and Short Story Readings. Writing Festival Review

In early 2014, the WILDsound Writing Festival transitioned to performing novel and short story readings using professional actors in Toronto.

So far, we have performed at least one winner every single month. And next year we plan on performing at least 2 a month, including transcripts from full novels.

Take a look and listen:

This month we also added our new feature where we are now turning short stories and novels into movies! Our first novel turned movie was completed 5 days ago and already it has garnered over 1100 hits:

Interesting feedback. I too have come to the same conclusion you have. I will resubmit, rewriting the opening chapter and taking out the narration of the dead man. I was seduced by the idea, but agree he becomes a distraction and a filter.

Elements of Betrayal, 1st chapter book

Thank you for the festival and the feedback. This book hit its target. To provide a broad base from which others can continue the story.

John Smith: Last Known Survivor

Thanks for your insightful and highly constructive comments on my novel submission, “Victoria The First”. Clearly, your reader(s) read the manuscript carefully and thoroughly. Your overall assessment of “a great read” has encouraged me to dive back in and tell this story the way I know I can.
– Bill Osinski
Victoria The First: A Novel, Full Novel

Thanks for your thoughtful critique. And how you pin-pointed all of the many grammatical errors in this novel draft. The notebook passages were meant in part to convey that vitally important moral and political distinction (Ariel is something of a marxist for a reason, after all). I am sorry it was not made more clear in the narrative. Again, thanks for reading my novel with such care.
– Christopher Bernard
Voyage to a Phantom City, Full Novel

Hope you enjoy and hope to see you submit.

Thanks
Matthew
