'It's a rainy Thursday evening in Salamanca Square. Writers congregate between the overflowing shelves and tables at Hobart Bookshop for the launch of the 40th issue of Famous Reporter. This much-loved journal, under the continuous editorship of literary devotee, Ralph Wessman, has given countless writers their first appearance in print for twenty-two years. Every issue features new and established talent and includes local, national and international voices in its pages.'
