Dear Graham,
My name is Paul Ewen and
I am writing to you from Five Dials, one of the UK's leading literary
magazines. Five Dials is an online magazine produced by Hamish Hamilton,
an imprint of Penguin. We have around 15,000 regular subscribers, and our free
issues are sometimes downloaded by up to 200,000 people. Our contributors
include Nobel Prize winners, and also Harry Shearer, who provides the voice of
Mr. Burns on The Simpsons. Everyone from Noam Chomsky to Arcade Fire.
I am writing to you
because on June 1st this year we will be launching a very special New Zealand
edition of the magazine. This will feature a range of fiction, non-fiction and
poetry from a very diverse range of New Zealand writers. The issue will also
feature artworks from Shane Cotton and Francis Upritchard, and correspondence
between Janet Frame and Charles Brasch.
The launch of the issue
is taking place in London as part of the Australia & NZ Literary & Arts
Festival, and speakers at our event include C.K Stead, Stella Duffy, Paula
Morris and Micah Ferris. The compere for the event will be Simon Prosser,
Editorial Director for Hamish Hamilton.
I would be very grateful
if you could possibly promote the forthcoming issue on your blog. It is free to
subscribe to Five Dials, and our previous 31 issues are currently
available to read online. I'm attaching a logo image, and would be more than
happy to answer any questions you may have.
All the best,
