Publishing opportunities for writers from the new communities in Ireland
Dear all
I’m posting a message from Sharon O’Shea of Tralee Partnership, whose newsletter is looking for story submissions from writers from the new communities. Their deadline is the end of July. Her email address is soshea@partnershiptrali.com.
Hi Nessa and Pamela, I am the Community Development Officer based in Partnership Tra Li, in Tralee town. This year we decided to try support new communities in Tralee by developing a newsletter in three languages- Polish, Russian and French. The first edition- attached- was aimed at introducing new communities to the area and the services available to them. The next edition is aimed at community involvement. We want it to be very interactive and want people in the new communities to submit stories, ideas etc for the next edition. The closing date for the next edition is 31st July, with the newsletter being published in September. I was wondering if you or anyone in your group would like to submit stories etc for the next newsletter? I can send you on copies of the last newsletter if you send me an address to send them to. I would be very interested in hearing from you. If you require any further information please feel free to contact me on 066-718190 or by this email. Regards,Sharon

Hie Nessa and Pamela, and of course the other brilliant women writers I havent been in touch with yet. Hope you are all doing well. Still writing you from Nigeria, cant believe Ive been here for 5 weeks already! Having a great time and the weather is just fab guys…well of course with an occassional shower now and then(note, I said OCCASSIONAL)Any summer yet…back ‘home’?
Nway, just wanted to say to those of you who are familiar with the ‘new’ African Voice newspaper, ‘check page 18′, just tried to share a bit with Irish readers about an organisation I have been working with(together with another Irish volunteer) in the last couple of weeks here in Osun State, Nigeria as part of the Global Awareness Programme on HIV and AIDS.Hope to meet you all soon.
Hi Nogugu!
No summer here yet, I’m afraid to say. A couple of days lured us into thinking it might have finally come, but that was just an optical illusion.
I’ll certainly check out the African Voice, but it would be great if you pasted a flavour of your writing here as well. It would be fascinating to read.
Warm good wishes to you in Nigeria
Nessa
