“Seaside Shuffle” – Book Club & Local Writers Anthology
at Tea Amantes – Tearoom & Gallery

We’re excited to invite local writers and poets to take part in a new creative project celebrating the stories of Blackpool and the surrounding area.

Live Event – late 2025:

A special evening will be organised at Tea Amantes, where authors will have 5–10 minutes to present an excerpt of their work to an audience.

Printed Anthology:

Selected submissions will be featured in a printed collection titled Seaside Shuffle.

Submission Guidelines:

– Short stories, poems, or memoirs (up to 1000 words);

– Submit via email: teaamantes@gmail.com

– Please include in the subject line: “Seaside Shuffle” – Book Club & Local Writers Anthology;

– Deadline: 30 September 2025.

If there’s enough interest, we hope to continue with a monthly book club, spotlighting original writing and local voices.

We’re especially keen to collaborate with:
– Local writers;
– Poetry and book club organisers;
– Aspiring authors with stories to share.

Let’s bring the literary spirit of the seaside to life.

Join the Seaside Shuffle.
