About The Story Hunters Project
During summer 2021 Essex Book Festival partnered with Explore Essex on The Story Hunters Project. A quest to get people of all ages out and about exploring the amazing heritage and green spaces on our doorstep.
Our intrepid adventurers were encouraged to visit one or more of 20 designated locations across Essex, and then transform that experience into a piece of original flash fiction.
