How to Contact Warrandyte Diary or Submit Content

You can reach Warrandyte Diary by phone on (03) 9844 0555 or by email at [email protected]. The office is at the Community Centre, 168-178 Yarra St, Warrandyte, 3113, and mail can be sent to PO Box 209, Warrandyte, 3113. For sending in content, the website lists a "Submissions" entry in its main navigation, alongside "Advertising" and "Contact us" — use those pages to start a submission or an advertising enquiry rather than the general email if you want your material routed correctly.

Contact details at a glance

Submitting content

The homepage navigation includes a dedicated Submissions entry, which is the intended starting point for sending material to the paper. The site does not publish detailed submission guidelines on the homepage, so the practical approach is:

1. Open the Submissions page from the main menu and read any instructions listed there.
2. Prepare your item — for example, a story tip, a photo with caption, or a letter — and note who should be credited.
3. Send it through the route the Submissions page specifies. If no specific address is given, use [email protected] and state clearly in the subject line that it is a submission.
4. If you need confirmation or a deadline, call (03) 9844 0555.

The Diary's content mix gives a useful guide to what fits: local news across Manningham and Nillumbik, community stories, sport, columns, podcasts and flash fiction. A youth festival story, a Melbourne Cup fashion event, fire-season preparation and a 200km charity ride for Eastern Health kids' care all appear among recent items — so community events, local people and local causes are the kind of material the paper covers.

Advertising

Advertising has its own navigation entry. Use that page for rates, formats and booking rather than the general contact address, since commercial enquiries are handled separately from editorial submissions.

Finding a printed copy

The site provides a Pickup locations page listing where the printed Diary is available. Check that page before travelling to a specific shop or community venue, as stock and drop points can change.

Reading the Diary without a copy

If you are contacting the paper about something you read, the digital side may answer it first. The site offers a NewsPod audio edition, an archive described as "Every Diary ever!" covering life in Warrandyte from 1970 to now, and an RSS feed for latest posts. Back issues of the M&N Bulletin have a separate archive link. These are useful when you want to check a past story before pitching a follow-up or correcting a detail.

Practical notes

• The phone number is a local landline format (03 area code), so interstate or overseas callers should dial with the appropriate prefix.
• The office address and postal address differ — use the PO Box for mail rather than the street address.
• The site also runs a mailing list sign-up; joining it is a low-effort way to see what the Diary is covering before you pitch.
• Nothing on the homepage indicates that submissions or listings are paid, but confirm any conditions on the Submissions and Advertising pages before you send.
