Contributors are paid AU$75 and receive one copy of the issue they appear in.

We accept submissions of all styles of literary fiction, poetry, personal & creative essays, photography, and art. All unsolicited submissions must be unpublished. Please send us only your best and polished work.

Submit written work in hard-copy, standard format: typed, double-spaced, and one-sided on A4 or letter size paper. Photographs and artwork should be posted as an A4 or letter size copy (greyscale or colour), preferably a laser print. Each piece should be accompanied by the following information: title, date, size of original work, and media used.

We also accept electronic submissions, particularly from overseas contributors. Format: RTF for writing, and 300 dpi for images (JPG preferred). All accepted work will need to be submitted in electronic format: RTF or PDF for writing, and 300 dpi for images (JPG preferred).

Please limit submissions to three prose pieces (max 5000 words per piece), or three images. Poetry submissions should include at least three, but no more than six poems. Include a covering letter with your name, email address, phone number, postal address, and a short biography. If sending electronic submissions, include your cover letter as the first page of your submission, and NOT just in the text of your email.

Please do not send your only or original copy; we cannot be responsible for the loss or non-arrival of submissions. Submissions will not be returned. Notification will be by email. If you require notification by post, please include a SSAE with sufficient Australian postage or International Reply Coupons. Individual copyright remains with the author.

Contributors are paid AU$75 and receive one copy of the issue they appear in. (For poetry, this fee covers three to five pages of poems; a fee of AU35 is paid for poems up to two pages.) Please note: Australian contributors are paid by cheque. International contributors are paid via PayPal secure payment services (for assurance and to save on high bank transaction fees often incurred at both ends).
