Writers Abroad Magazine Issue 3 September 2015 | Page 2

WRITERS ABROAD MAGAZINE Editorial by Jo Lamb Welcome to our third issue of Writers Abroad Magazine. As usual it is packed with something for everyone: poetry, fiction, articles, interviews and lots more. However, this has been a sad time for Writers Abroad. In early June, two of our members died within days of each other. Mary had been struggling with illness on and off for some time but was a feisty lady in her ninth decade! Jany had not been ill for long and it was a shock when we learnt of both their deaths. Mary and Jany were dedicated WA members and supplied us with lots of humour and advice. We remember them both here in the magazine and will be dedicating this year’s Anthology, Kaleidoscope, to them both. WA members as well as writing content for this publication have been busy reading, editing and proofing submissions for Kaleidoscope. We have selected a wonderful mixture of flash fiction, poetry and short stories to keep you entertained and at the same time raise money for our chosen charity, Room to Read. Kaleidoscope will be published as a paperback on Monday 12 October 2015. Sign up here for a reminder and details of where to buy. We hope you enjoy reading our magazine and would be grateful if you leave us some feedback on your experience so we can continue to improve it. All those who complete our short survey will be entered into a prize draw for a free e-copy of our Anthology! Click on WA Mag Feedback at the end of the magazine.
