'Ways of Being Here features four stories by emerging writers Rafeif Ismail, Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes, Tinashe Jakwa and Yuot Alaak, winners of last year's 'Ways of Being Here' flash fiction competition, which was open to any writer of African heritage residing in Western Australia who had less than four published stories and/or articles. The stories featured are urgent, innovative, and inimitable, distinct voices that are easy to read, but hard to forget once you've entered their worlds, words, and thoughts.'

'John and Caroline Wood founded the Centre for Stories in 2015 at 100 Aberdeen Street in Northbridge, Western Australia. The Centre collects, shares and preserves stories online and in live events. Our team includes storytellers, writers, poets, sound and visual experts, book club leaders and administrators. The aim of the Centre is to tell good stories in the hope of strengthening connections between people and encouraging a more inclusive and informed community.' (Website introduction)
