Hello Ozians!
Today I’d like to introduce you to a monthly newspaper straight out of the Land of Oz. On the 1st of every month, you will receive an exclusive Oz Gazette issue two weeks ahead of everyone else. Expect the first issue on February 1st.
These issues will be in newspaper format complete with a banner:
Some sections you can expect from The Oz Gazette are:
Recaps of the previous week’s chapters that we’ve read, complete with some facts and interesting pieces of information gathered together from the internet that you may not know.
Resource links so you can do your own research on the expanding Land of Oz.
Exclusive access to a reimaging of the classic tale. That’s right, I am working on my own Oz stories but with a completely different journey. Told from a different point of view. With characters you know but not how you remember them at all.
Opportunities for other writers to submit articles from Oz, as well.
More sections will be added as we go…
📢 CALL TO ACTION 📢
If you (or someone you know) is a fiction writer and loves the Wizard of Oz as much as we do, send them my way as the opportunity to contribute to the Oz Gazette awaits! Bonus points if you already have a Substack as it will make promoting yourself in each issue easier.
My hope is by having the gazette on a monthly basis it will create more conversation around the books in many different ways.
That sounds so cool!
What do you have in mind for the fiction writers in the call to action? In-universe flash fiction? In-character reporting?
