Description
The Büchercafé Kapitel Drei is a place for stories - printed on the shelf, retold at the table, or still unfinished on loose pages, just beginning. Between coffee, conversations, and filled notebooks, different people reach for the pen at Kapitel Drei: some with initial ideas, others already in the middle of a manuscript. Still unpublished, still unbound, and yet already authors. With "Ungebunden - Neue Stimmen aus Kapitel Drei," we create a stage for exactly these texts as part of the Harbour Front Festival: for loose pages, started chapters, and stories that have yet to find their place in the world. For a weekend, we celebrate literature in the making - open, raw, and full of new young voices. Saturday 03.10.26: Ungebunden - open stage for everyone
Whether it's your first text, a started novel, poems from the drawer, or that one page that finally needs to be read aloud: on the open stage, the stage belongs to those who write.
No publication needed. No publisher. Just you and your words. Sunday 04.10.26: Ungebunden Literature Prize
Six selected authors (shortlist) present their texts live in front of a jury and audience.
In ten minutes each, they read from their unpublished works and give insight into texts still in progress - unbound but ready to be heard.
Afterwards, the first Ungebunden Literature Prize will be awarded.
Highlights
- Open stage for everyone on 03.10.26
- Presentation of the shortlist authors on 04.10.26
- Award ceremony of the Ungebunden Literature Prize
