Pushing Out the Boat invites you to their exciting Power of the Sea reading and writing events running as part of this year’s jam-packed Aberdeen Festival of the Sea programme.

Immerse yourself in an ocean of talent at our live reading showcase on Saturday 20th July, featuring sea-themed readings from past contributors and music performed by Alastair Eddie. Tickets and more information here.

Dive deeper into your own creativity at our creative writing workshop on Thursday 25th July, hosted by Aberdeen writer Shane Strachan for new and established writers. Tickets and more information here.

Attendees of the workshop may wish to gain inspiration from the Saturday reading showcase – but all and any are welcome to both.

We look forward to seeing you there!

To read an entry, simply click on the entry number and a new window will open in which a PDF version of the submission will be displayed.

All the web browsers I have checked (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera) have a built-in reader which will display PDF documents inline. If your browser starts up Adobe viewer or tries to download the document, then you may need to adjust your browser settings. If you need help with this, please get back in touch with me.

Printing

In IE, Chrome or Opera - right click and select Print from the pop-up menu
In Firefox you should see a PDF toolbar immediately above the document; click on the print icon, towards the right hand end of the toolbar

Downloading

Click on the entry number to view the PDF version of the submission

Mac user?
Alas, I don't have a Mac, so can't give you exact instructions for Safari but, if you need help with this, get back in touch with me and I will enlist the help of my son to come up with the recipe.

Want to read on a Kindle? PDFs can be read directly on the Kindle but there is no automatic line wrap which can mean you have to display at an uncomfortably small font size. It is possible to improve the readability of the file by using Amazon's own personal document conversion service:

Download the PDF file to your computer
Email the file to your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address with the Subject line: Convert
You can find your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address on your Kindle by going to Settings > Device Option > Personalize your Kindle on your e-reader.
