West Coast Magazine

West Coast Magazine (1987–1998) was a three times a year Scottish literary publication consisting of poetry, short fiction, articles, essays and reviews.

The main aim of West Coast was to help promote new writing, and more specifically, new writers in Scotland.

Gordon Giles left during production of Issue Six to pursue a career in Community Education; leaving Kenny and Joe as editors.

From Issue Nine till Issue Thirteen an editorial board chose most of the work for the magazine freeing up Joe and Kenny to pursue the creation of a new small publishing company called Media Bridge Ltd* in West Nile Street, Glasgow, which took on the production of West Coast Magazine.

The editorial group consisted of Margaret Fulton Cook editor and for around two years, during this time John Cunningham, Graham Fulton, Ronnie Smith and Brian Whittingham were the editorial board with Joe Murray as managing editor.
