Tasmanian Literature reunites with its creative forebears, with a contemporary twist

Transportation: islands and cities, a project that has been gestating across many oceans, has launched its crowdfunding project and will celebrate tonight with an event at Fullers Bookshop between 5.30-6.30.

The project, which brings together writers from London and Tasmania will be published in book form in late 2014.

The event will feature readings from three of the invited authors, Ben Walter, Susie Greenhill and Adam Ouston and is generously sponsored by Pagan Cider.

These writers have been published in most of Australia’s top literary magazine and are generating a good deal of excitement among readers and the literary community as a whole.
Comedian (and writer) Suzy Cooper will MC the event.

Transportation editors are also pleased to announce that Tasmanian artist, Tony Thorne’s illustrations of the London Tube will grace the pages of the book.

The crowdfunding will raise $10 000, which will pay the authors, illustrators as well as pay for printing and postage costs.

The campaign runs until July 31, and there will be an event in London in late July.
