Written and Read by the Writer
Soirées is a home for poetry, prose and storytelling in the writer’s own voice — work written and read by the people who created it.
We believe the voice matters: its accent, humour, hesitation, rhythm and character. Our aim is to discover writing worth hearing, record it well, and make it available to everyone.
