It's out - and already we are receiving positive feedback on the look and content of Southlight 8. You can get a copy from DGArts at The Mid-Steeple,

Dumfries or have one posted by contacting Carolyn Yates - e-mail : carolyn@dgarts.co.uk but best of all, you could come to the Gracefield Studios Cafe on Wednesday 23rd March to the launch reading (wine and nibbles too)

from 7.00 - 9.00 pm where you can hear some of the work being read and which includes guests readers from The Eildon Tree, which is produced in our neighbouring region. Submissions are invited now for Southlight 9 - out in July.

You can e-mail me : vivien@freeola.com or post hard copy to Vivien Jones, 5, Lakeview, Powfoot, Annan, DG12 5PG

But before that - on Wednesday 16th March - you could come to The Mid-Steeple where Singing Over the Bones II is having its Dumfries launch. This lovely publication is in celebration of Wigtown Women, their lives and achievements, and has work from a wide variety of writers in poetry, prose and drama. Wine and nibbles and good company. The book costs £6.99 - a bargain at 96 pages - and can be purchased at the launch or by contacting Kriss Nichol
