Photographer Lucas Dorward is compiling his first ever printed work of Ventura photography accompanied by stories, poems, and articles contributed by local authors and journalists. Once completed, the gazette will be free to everyone and available citywide at local businesses.

If you’re interesting is submitting your written word for consideration please reach out below. There are no specific guidelines to this. This gazette is intended to highlight life in this city and the creatives that live in it.

"I'm very excited to bring something more personal to this community! Due to the cost of printing this with no ads I ask for your help in gathering the funds needed to take care of the final printing step of this project. Thank you for caring about the folks of this great community and I look forward to sharing the first of hopefully many collections of creative work." -Lucas Dorward
