To participate in Spoken Nuggets, writers must create a narrative piece - either fictional or based on a true life story - in a flash fiction or flash memoir format. Each Nugget should be no more than four-minutes in length when performed - that should be roughly 750 words. The Nugget can be amusing, heart-warming, bizarre, or tragic.
We ask that you please refrain from any content that is overtly political. Also, we ask our participants to not delve into rants, hate speech, or sermons. And absolutely no pornography. We aspire to make Spoken Nuggets a welcome and safe space for participants of all ages, genders, and points of view.
Once you have performed your Nugget at an event, stay and enjoy all the other participants. Spoken word requires community to succeed! The next theme will be announced at the conclusion of each event.
Storyteller order will be determined at the event by random draws from the mysterious Spoken Nuggets hat.
Each solo poem must be of the poet’s own creation. Memorization is not required or necessary - the poet may choose to bring a sheet of paper, tablet, or phone to stage from which to read. Poems should be no more than four-minutes in length when performed.

Once you have performed your Nugget at an event, sit back and relax. There's plenty more performers that want to take the stage.
