WRITERS ABROAD MAGAZINE: THE THIRD SPACE

EDITORIAL
Writers Abroad proudly presents the fifth issue of the WA magazine, The Third Space.
We hope that within these pages each and every one of our readers will find a story, flash
fiction, poem or article, to whet the appetite. Also, get to know a little about some of our
members through the Member Spotlight and From Here To There.
Our writers have achieved successes over the months since the last magazine in a variety
of ways - publication in magazines and anthologies, long and short listing in a number of
competitions, and even the coveted first prize position.
Writing for our audience brings us great pleasure and pushes us to continually hone our
creative skill. To present work of high quality, in content and presentation, has always
been our aim and you, our readers, keep that aspiration alive.
The diversity of our members, life style, where they call home, and a multitude of
experiences, come together in this magazine to provide a collection of work we look
forward to sharing with you.
Your reading experiences are what assist us in developing our art and to that end we ask
you to complete the short survey at the conclusion of the magazine. Subsequently, as a
thank you, you will be entered into a draw to win an e-copy of one of our anthologies.
Happy reading, one and all.
