Le Cub’Édito veut favoriser le goût de la lecture, voire de la création, dans les salles de classe © Short Édition

FLASH INFO — Du nouveau pour Short Édition. L’éditeur communautaire grenoblois, qui propose depuis plusieurs années des distributeurs d’histoires courtes dans les lieux publics, veut investir à présent les établissements d’enseignement.

Cub’Edito est un dispositif plutôt sympathique pensé pour les jeunes. L’objectif est de les inciter à prendre goût à l’écriture et à la lecture.

Ces cubes sont installés dans des écoles ou des médiathèques. L’origine de cette idée vient de Short Edition, les fameux distributeurs d’histoires courtes qui prolifèrent en France et à l’étranger.
Nous avons voulu en savoir plus sur ce concept. Côme Sibieude, Directeur de projets éducatifs chez Short Edition s’est prêté au jeu des questions-réponses pour nous en parler...

[...] "una zona relax sul tetto dell’edificio per massimo 2mila soci che potranno godersi la piscina panoramica con vista sul Monviso (oltre alla SPA e a un cocktail bar) e provare l’iconico Dispenser per racconti brevi della casa editrice francese Short Edition che racconta: “quattro distributori all’aperto di racconti brevi consegneranno la letteratura scritta dai nostri scrittori in tutto il mondo, quelli della Scuola Holden, i membri della Green Pea e la saggezza dei filosofi classici, Pericle, Socrate, Platone e Aristotele, premendo un pulsante”."

This new creative opportunity comes from the French company Short Edition, creator of the Short Story Dispenser.

To become a writer, you simply need to write, but becoming published is a whole different story. Philly Storied City is giving Philadelphians the opportunity to do just that. A new and free local initiative recently opened submissions for a project that is meant to promote creativity for all and also offer a way for writers to gain a larger audience.

Perth has been the first city in Australia to install a short story dispenser

We are so excited to announce that thanks to the literature-loving team at Raine Square, Perth now has its first Short Story Dispenser. The Dispensers are a French invention that can be found in more than 300 locations across the globe – from San Francisco to Melbourne, Hong-Kong, Paris, London and Philadelphia – delivering literary experiences to people in airports, libraries, wineries, cafes and other unexpected places.

[...] "Short Édition est arrivé aux États-Unis pour concrétiser le projet de faire de Philadelphie notre vitrine pour créer le concept de "storied city" ! Dans une ville il peut y avoir beaucoup d'acteurs concernés par le partage de la culture et de l'art et on peut installer des Distributeurs à de multiples endroits, inviter des auteurs locaux pour partager leurs contenus et faire vivre leurs oeuvres, créer une dynamique pour l'art et faire vivre les communautés des quartiers."

The Dispensers, which have become popular around the world, spit out the free, bite size reads for comuters, with the hope of getting people off their phones...

The international literary craze is now coming to Perth, with its very own Short Story Station located in Raine Square.

Perth is set to become the first Australian city to permanently hero the international literary trend: the very, very short story. The short story dispensing machines that distribute a variety of one, three or five-minute stories are the brainchild Short Edition, a French community publisher of short-form literature and will find its home at Raine Square from Friday 16 October.

The Short Story Dispenser at University of Texas at Arlington Libraries.

The University of Texas at Arlington Libraries is excited to participate in the Short Édition Long Story Short Award, its first annual inter-university writing contest. Short Édition is a French publishing house who UTA Libraries partners with in hosting a Short Story Dispenser on the second floor of Central Library. This Dispenser provides short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry to the public, free of charge. “We are proud to partner with Short Édition and can’t wait to see what our students submit to the Long Story Short Award,” said Rebecca Bichel, dean of UTA Libraries. “Mavericks are innovative and creative, and we are confident that they will excel in this inaugural contest.”

Boekenwurmen opgelet: het Utrechtse literatuurfestival ILFU neemt de eerste Nederlandse verhalenmachine in gebruik. Zoals je elders een kroket uit de muur of een zakje Crokychips uit een vitrine haalt, kun je uit dit apparaat gratis korte verhalen trekken van onder anderen Remco Campert en Manon Uphoff. De machine is een uitvinding van het Franse bedrijf Short Edition en er zijn wereldwijd driehonderd exemplaren van in omloop. Filmregisseur Francis Ford Coppola behoort tot de fans van het idee (een van de automaten staat in zijn café in San Francisco).
