Writing NSW is celebrating its branding launch with a competition being held each week across six weeks, asking for the best towns in NSW that could be used as settings for various kinds of stories.
A selection of books by local writers will be rewarded to the winning entry each week, with favourite submissions to be shared on social media.
The latest winner for the best NSW town to set a children’s fairy tale is Janelle Ballenden for her entry on Bundeena – “on a moon-lit night, mermaids perch on the end of the ferry wharf, flapping their luminescent tails in the inky depths.”
The shortlisted towns included Gostwyk, Frogs Hollow, Cobargo, Yarrawonga, Oberon, Wollongong and Fairy Hill.
Entries close midnight, July 8.
