Welcome to the dawn of our new magazine
Shortstown is entering an exciting new chapter. We’re proud to announce the launch of a brand-new community website and magazine dedicated to celebrating the people, places, history, and future of our wonderful town. This project has been created with one goal in mind: to bring Shortstown closer together by sharing local voices, promoting what matters, and shining a spotlight on the stories that make our town unique.
But to truly make this a living, breathing community hub, we need your help.
Share Your Stories
Do you enjoy writing? Have a passion for local history? Want to highlight an issue or an achievement?
We’re looking for contributors of all ages and backgrounds to write articles, features, opinion pieces, interviews, or even short updates about what’s happening around the town. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or a complete beginner, your voice matters.
Send Us Your Photos
Great photography brings a community magazine to life. If you love capturing moments — sunsets over open fields, events at the local school, village gatherings, wildlife, architecture, or everyday life in Shortstown — we’d love to feature your photos. Your images will help showcase our town’s character in a way only locals can.
Local Businesses: Advertise With Us
Our website and magazine also offer affordable advertising opportunities for local businesses, tradespeople, clubs, and community groups. By advertising with us, you’re not just promoting your services — you’re supporting a local platform built to strengthen and celebrate Shortstown.
Why We’re Doing This
Shortstown has grown rapidly in recent years, yet many residents still feel there’s more we can do to stay connected, informed, and involved. This new website and magazine aim to become a central place for:
- Local news and updates
- Community events
- Business listings
- Feature stories and interviews
- Creativity from local writers, photographers, and artists
- Updates from schools, groups, and organisations
Get Involved
This project is for the community — and shaped by the community. If you’d like to contribute, volunteer, advertise, or simply share ideas about what you’d like to see, we want to hear from you.
Together, we can build something that helps Shortstown thrive.
Join us, share your voice, and let’s celebrate Shortstown.
