The first Tasmanian meeting to discuss an exciting international cultural project will take place in Hobart on Monday, January 20 at 5.30 upstairs at the New Sydney Hotel.
A meeting in Launceston will take place on Tuesday 28 January, 7.45 am at Café Mondello and meetings in London will soon follow.
The project, which has confirmed experienced editors in both London and Tasmania will invite some writers from both locations and also call for submissions on the theme ‘cities and islands’ in upcoming months.
Transportation is an ambitious literary project that will publish, promote and showcase writers from London and Tasmania in book form for release in late 2014.
Transportation will draw on the long historic links between these distinct places and evoke the connection of historic and cultural significance. It will allow for a meaningful connection with the reading public, coupled with long term commercial viability.
