Authora Australis

About

Authora Australis is a new literary journal, focused on good quality, accessible writing that inspires, entertains, transforms and illuminates. We are interested in poetry and fiction from every genre, especially when it is grounded in everyday experience.
We are interested in writing that moves beyond tired cultural tropes or conventional escapism.
We seek that magical quality that connects the ordinary and extraordinary, and demonstrates the beauty, warmth, humour and excitement of everyday existence in fresh ways that span the real and the fantastical.
The journal is committed to equity and openness, and as such, all submissions are subject to blind review. While we are based in Australia, we encourage and welcome writing from around the world.

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.
