Published 2 September 20111 June 2012 · Main Posts Now that we know what you think Editorial team We’d like to say a gigantic thankyou to everyone who participated in the Overland readers survey. We had nearly 500 responses, more than we expected, and we learned some fascinating things about you: Firstly, you clearly have good taste. Secondly, you could be any age, and are fractionally more likely to be a woman. Many of you are here for the politics and culture, and quite a number of you are writers. More importantly, though, we learned what you think does and doesn’t work in Overland, information that will be used to shape our magazine into the future, in print and online. But all of that’s possibly more interesting to us. What you want to know is who won the prizes, right? Drum roll. Congratulations to Marilyn Linn on her lifetime subscription and John Campbell on his crate of wine. And thanks again for your feedback, and for helping us to build a better magazine.
