Published 9 November 201513 November 2015 · News / Activities / Main Posts Subscriberthon Day Six: More local literary culture, more ♥ Editorial team At Overland, we try to challenge the boundaries of writing as art and political engagement. We question received notions of what literature and society should be. We seek to interrogate the nexus between individual creativity and experience, and our shared understandings of the world. Yet, as the recent attacks on arts funding have shown, independent small press publishing and vibrant literary culture in Australia is under increased threat. Literary magazines have the flexibility to do what corporate publishing cannot: experiment, take creative risks, publish underrepresented perspectives and ideas, and engage with a literary culture that goes beyond the marketplace. But we can’t do it without you. Subscriptions don’t just provide much-needed funds for organisations that run on the smell of an oily rag, they are visible markers of support. Taking out a subscription means helping out the little guys. It means raising a flag for independent publishing. It means showing you care about a vibrant and diverse literary culture. We know lovers of literature read widely, so we’ve teamed up with our friends at literary mags around the country to make it easier for you to maximise your impact. Our Take-2 subscriptions mean you save up to 15% on the cover price of Overland, support multiple magazines at once, and if you subscribe before 11 November, you’ll go in the running to win one of twenty amazing Subscriberthon prizes. Take-2 pairings are available with The Lifted Brow, Griffith Review, Meanjin, Island, Southerly, and Westerly. We also have a special offer with the National Union of Workers, sponsors of the Fair Australia Prize, for an Overland subscription and an NUW community membership. Show your support.
