The Founder
This is Ulverston is the project of local writer H.J. Tanner and is entirely self-funded and managed. It costs approximately £150 a year to maintain and run which covers website hosting, occasional travel expenses and room hire when needed. Man hours are not covered and so the website is updated as and when possible – aiming for at least ten new interviews per year.

The Interviews
This is Ulverston is a collection of portraits and interviews featuring the residents of Ulverston UK. The format is long form journalism alongside silvertone portraiture.
We feature Ulverston locals and ask them about their lives and businesses. Anyone can put themselves or others forward and we also approach people we think would make an interesting read.
All interviews have to take place in level access locations and are paced at an hour maximum.
A quick note : Our house rules are very simple – anything positive that is part of a solution is welcome here. We don’t take part in any social media projects or collaborations except to feature our publication. This is not personal it just keeps our goals and focus simple.
Your interview will be recorded as an audio file, transcribed and published alongside a black and white portrait of yourself which we will take at the interview. That’s it!
This is Ulverston remains neutral on politics, religion and any other divisive topic. Our focus is on people, their stories, their lives and their contributions or links to Ulverston. The only requirement for feature is that they either live or work in the town and are over 18 years of age.

Socials
We don’t have a lot of time for social media to us it is one big circus styled treadmill but we will update our Facebook page and our Instagram profile when we have new content on site. We did start other social profiles but its just not on our radar to use them so the only updates will be through FB and Instagram.
