ICYMI the good news yesterday! We're thrilled to announce the shortlist for the KYD Creative Non-Fiction Prize 2025.

Registrations are now open for our (free!) upcoming symposium! 🥳 It will be held on 24th November, running approximately between 10am and 4pm AEDT (Syd/Melb Time). It is shaping up to be a great event full of SUCH interesting research on Reading, Writing, and Publishing in Regional Australia.

ICYI! Launching Dec 2! We're putting the final touches on everything and it's getting very exciting.

The theme from issue 1 is... exhume! We wanted to contextualise why we chose this particular name. It's so much more than morbid associations!

✏️🗓️ Mark it in your calendars! Issue 1 of Exhume is officially launching on December 2.

Today is your last chance to send us a pitch! Email us your idea at exhume.lit@gmail.com ✉️
