With support from CAL’s Cultural fund, each of the journal’s next seven editions will feature a major political essay developed in conjunction with the project’s contributing editor. Final essays will be 3500–4000 words and can address any subject that the participant feels relevant. Successful essayists will be paid $1500. You can read more about getting involved elsewhere on the site. In the interim, though, Overland 202 contains the first essay in the series: David Donaldson′s account of lingering homophobia in the criminal code. • Supported by Copyright Agency Limited Cultural Fund Editorial team More by Editorial team › Overland is a not-for-profit magazine with a proud history of supporting writers, and publishing ideas and voices often excluded from other places.
