Call for Papers The Journal of Australian Writers and Writing
A NEW WEB-BASED JOURNAL The Journal of Australian Writers and Writing is a peer-reviewed journal. It forms a major component of The Australian Literary Compendium, a project funded by the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) to provide new ways of studying, reading, and reviewing Australian writing and creative practice. The journal will be published on-line twice a year and will feature essays, fiction, book reviews and articles.
The first edition, which will be posted on-line in February 2010, has as its theme Rethinking Contemporary Australian Fiction.
The second edition will be a special issue on Christina Stead.
In general, we welcome articles of up to 7,500 words (including notes) on any aspect of Australian writers and writing.
ARTISTS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTORS
In addition to the refereed journal, the Australian Literary Compendium website will include Australian literature through readings, interactive texts, images and music. We would therefore be interested in hearing from photographers, artists, filmmakers and musicians who are working in these media and would like to submit work for the site.
