Culture Magazine Australia


SPN logoOverland, the most radical of Australia’s long-standing literary and cultural magazines, celebrated its 60th year in 2014.

Overland’s mission is to foster new, original and progressive work exploring the relationship between politics and culture, especially literature, and to bring that work to as many people as possible.

Overland values:

  • the wide dissemination of new, challenging and progressive ideas about politics and culture, showcasing Australia to the world and the world to Australia;
  • participation in political and cultural debates and controversies, with an interventionist rather than passive orientation;
  • aesthetic excellence, encouraging contributors to achieve their best;
  • democratisation of politics and culture, providing room for diverse and marginal voices alongside the established and the authoritative;
  • social justice, in the broadest sense of that term, applied to both the cultural and political spheres.

Overland publishes a quarterly print journal of essays, fiction, poetry and reviews, and an online magazine of cultural commentary, updated most days, as well as irregular online-only editions of fiction and poetry. It holds events, discussions and debates in writers’ festivals and similar forums throughout Australia. It hosts a number of major literary competitions, with an orientation to emerging writers.

Overland accepts unsolicited writing for both the print and online journals, and is committed to paying all its writers.

Overland is published by a not-for-profit organisation. It depends on its community for support. If you like what you read, please take out a subscription.
