About

Meanjin is a forum for reflection, speculation, opinion and fresh creativity in various literary and visual genres. Emerging writers and graphic artists appear alongside established ones. The general style and tone of the articles is conversational rather than narrowly academic. Avoiding technical specialisation and specialist language, they seek to appeal to a broad educated audience of all generations.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
