Sacramento's monthly reading series features short fiction by established and emerging writers from Sacramento and surrounding areas, introduced by their authors and read by actors. The series will run on the final Friday of every month. 
 
Sacramento News & Review recognized Stories on Stage in its 2011 Best of Sacramento Issue. It named founder and host Valerie Fioravanti a "Best Friend to Fiction Writers" for her work with the series. You can read the profile here.
 
Stories on Stage now has a blog, featuring author interviews and local literary news. Missed a performance? Most of our videos are now up on Facebook. Like Stories on Stage (Sacramento) to watch them.  

Stories on Stage has won a 2010 Best of Sacramento Award from Sacramento Magazine. We were the editor's pick for Best Reason to Listen Up.
 

Stories on Stage visited Capitol Public Radio's Insight program. Listen to the interview with host Valerie Fioravanti, writer Naomi Williams, and actor William Kay here.

CALL FOR STORIES

Two stories will be featured at each event, one from a writer with a short story collection or equivalent publication history, and one from an emerging writer. An emerging writer need not have previous publications in order to be selected. To submit a story for possible inclusion in the series, email your story as an attachment (.doc or .rtf only), and include a brief bio and publication history, if applicable. Please submit only one story, between 1000-4000 words. I am looking for stories that work well when read aloud, and not all short stories make a smooth transition off the page (this is true of some of my best stories. If you've never read your work aloud, I recommend a test run before you submit). Short stories only, please. No novel excerpts, essays/memoir, short plays/scripts, or monologues will be considered. While we only consider emerging writers from Sacramento and surrounding regions (from Northern CA into Southern OR or the Reno/Tahoe area in NV), we accept submissions from all authors with short story collections to promote, provided they are willing to travel to Sacramento to introduce their story to the audience.

PLEASE NOTE: We have selected stories for the 2012 Season. We will not be selecting stories again until next Fall. We will send out a notice when  we're ready to receive submissions again. This will help us avoid over-long wait times when SoS staffers are busy with the hard work of running the series.

CALL FOR ACTORS

If you are an actor interested in performing for Stories on Stage, please contact our casting director, Victoria Goldblatt, at optimumbody at aol dot com.
