A celebration of the 2022 QuietManDave Prize including the announcement of the Flash-Fiction and Flash Non-Fiction Prize winners.

Join Man Met’s Manchester Writing School at Manchester Poetry Library  for a special evening to celebrate the QuietManDave Prize, and announce the 2022 Flash Fiction and Flash Non-Fiction winners.

The evening will open with a drinks reception before short readings from the top entries in the Flash Fiction and Flash Non-Fiction categories, and thoughts from the judges and Dave’s family. The evening will close with the announcement of the winners and runner-up prizes in each category.

Dave Murray was a keen theatre critic, performed poetry at open mic sessions, loved flash fiction and kept many entertained and informed through his QuietManDave blog. He embraced writing relatively late in life but did so with a passion. The QuietManDave Prize, established in 2020 in honour of his memory and achievements, seeks to enable and promote new writing and has been supported through the generosity of Dave’s family and friends.
