We are excited to announce another issue of our festival magazine. Western Port Writes News is hot off the press from Galaxy Printing in Hastings.
In this issue, we share updates on our preparations for that first weekend in September and reveal more of our author lineup. We also invite you to submit your love letter to Western Port, with the chance of reading it on stage at our Friday Night Community Storytime event in September.
Entries are open for the Mayors Short Story Awards. Submissions close on June 21, so writers – don’t miss the submission deadline!
You can download your magazine here. And if you’d like a copy for your coffee table, you can find print copies at The Somers General, Petersen’s Bookstore, Hasting Library and a growing number of Western Port locations.
