Voiceworks http://expressmedia.org.au/express_media/
Voiceworks is a national quarterly magazine that features exciting new writing by young Australians. It features the best fiction, nonfiction, poetry, illustrations, and graphic art by under 25-year-olds around the country.
As well as offering a unique publishing opportunity to young writers and artists,Voiceworks helps all writers who submit to the magazine to develop their work. The Voiceworks Editorial Committee (EdComm), a team of writers and editors under 25, responds to each submission suggesting ways the author might be able to strengthen the work, or explaining why it isn’t suitable for Voiceworks. EdComm also assists the editor in reading submissions, editing content, proofreading, planning themes and running launches.
Voiceworks seeks to empower young writers and readers as equal creators and participants within the larger arts community. Our goal is to allow young Australians to represent themselves through quality literary and artistic production. Founded in 1988, Voiceworks is an institution in the Australian literary landscape. High profile guest writers and launchers have included Christos Tsiolkas, Will Self, John Birmingham, Linda Jaivin, Nam Le, East Timorese president and poet Xanana Gusmao and Ben Naparstek.
Some of our past writers include Anna Krien, who won the Australian Press Council Award when she was eighteen, and has since been published in The Big Issue, The Monthly, The Age, and Frankie magazine; Ella Holcombe, whose first book of poetry Welcome/ No Vacancy was published by Five Islands Press in 2007; Van Badham, now a widely recognised Australian playwright living and working in the UK, where she has written for the Royal Court Theatre and BBC World Service; and Selin Yaman, a highly successful producer who’s worked on Australian and international projects, including John Safran v God and RockWiz.
Voiceworks is published by Express Media, a national organisation providing support and development opportunities to young Australians in writing and media.
