Submissions are now open for The Australian - The Big Issue Fiction Edition 2017!



Returning for the 13th year, the annual fiction edition is one of the biggest-selling fiction magazines in Australia, and is a highlight of the publishing calendar.

As before, this exciting bumper edition will feature work from some of Australia's most loved writers, as well as a collection of open submissions that are judged "blind".

Previous editions have featured work from writers like John Marsden, Christos Tsiolkas, Graeme Simsion, Maxine Beneba Clarke and AS Patric – to name a few.

All writers are encourage to submit – of whatever age, whether established, emerging, or just keen to have a crack.

We are looking for stories covering all genres – comedy, love stories, scifi, heartwarmers, crime stories and everything in between. Don't be afraid to try something a bit different.

Entry is FREE, and every author published is paid.

Stories should be between 300 and 3000 words. To enter, send two printed (not electronic) copies of your entry to:

Fiction Edition, The Big Issue, GPO Box 4911, Melbourne 3001.

Make sure your name, email address and phone number are included on a removable coversheet.

Entries close Monday 5 June, 2017.

Please note: we will only accept one story per person, and the work must be previously unpublished.
