I was recently invited to take a look at a new website about Kauai. It is www.kauaibackstory.com and it is a place you will likely visit again and again. It has what many sites lack - writers. And it focusses on where we live. The site describes itself as follows.

Kauai Backstory is a venue for rigorous writing with a view about Kauai. We look for writing that builds understanding, not walls. We encourage writing that engenders respectful dialogue for we believe one way to build community is through conversation, the time-honored tradition of wala'au, talk story.

If you would like to submit to Kauai Backstory, copy your submission into the body of an email and send it to kauaibackstory@yahoo.com.

There is no word limit—brevity is good; however, quality is better. Please acknowledge if the writing has been previously published and where/when. All submissions will be read by a four-person editorial board, although not all submissions will be posted.

We encourage respectful comments to the posts. Comments are moderated.
