Bewilderbliss and Corridor 8 are two Manchester based creative writing magazines. Bewilderbliss was established by a creative writing MA student, in order to pull together the Manchester University and MMU’s creative writing courses. Corridor 8 was begun only 18 months ago, and has since published two editions.
The afternoon included readings from contributors to both magazines, as well as discussing the best ways for new, low budget magazines to get material and recognition. Both magazines are sold in Cornerhouse; to contact the magazines visit www.corridor8.co.uk and www.bewilderbliss.com.
