About

3 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

antae is an internationally refereed creative writing journal. Our editorial team is open to publishing all kinds of work written in English, from poetry to prose fiction, creative nonfiction, drama, experimental writing, review articles and more.
Edited in the Department of English at the University of Malta, antae was originally set up in 2013 as an interdisciplinary academic journal. Between January 2014 and June 2020, across seven volumes and twenty issues, antae published around 120 articles, interviews, creative works, and reviews—all open access. Our contributors included postgraduate and doctoral students, academics, artists, and independent scholars from four continents and around forty universities. Their writing is available in the 'Past Issues' section.
We start again in 2024—ten years after our first issue—with new vigour and a new vision. We are committed to publishing original creative works of quality, whether these come to us in the form of the traditional Shakespearean sonnets or flarf poetry, whether these assume the character of genre fantasy writing or thoroughly researched nonfiction. We only flank the doorway: it is up to writers to step through.
