Becoming a Friend of Morley Literature Festival is a great way of meeting like-minded book lovers and supporting the running of the festival.
For a modest cost of £5 Friends of Morley Literature Festival enjoy:
- Advance notice of artists
- Friends’ newsletter
- Invitation to special events during the year
The Friends organise the Book Swap as well as giving financial and volunteer support to the Festival.
Friends who volunteer as stewards during festival week, do a valuable job and as the bulk of the duties are just before and after the event they get to see it for free.

Short Story Competition 2012
The Friends of Morley Literature Festival organize an annual Short Story competition, with cash prizes for the winner and runners up. You can email us now for a pdf entry form. Hard copies will also be available at festival venues and from Morley library. The deadline for entries is 1st July 2012, so there’s plenty of time to get creative. 2011 attracted entries from as far away as the USA, and New Zealand as well as from local writers.
The Short Story Competition is open to anyone aged 12 and above. You can write on any subject you wish up to a maximum of 3000 words. There is no minimum word count; if it tells a story then 100 words is fine.
