Subscriberthon Day Four: Not a note wrong


In Overland you find ideas unpopular with the political classes, and stances not taken in other publications. Since 1954, we have been a place where the political and literary left meet because politics does not end where a book begins.

In a suffocative political climate, where far-right positions are the staple of the political discourse, independent space for progressive opinion – for alternative perspectives and possibilities – is more important than ever.

If you support what we do and the literary spaces we make, subscribe.

The bonus of (re)subscribing over the next week, during our annual Subscriberthon, is that you’ll see sharp, your letterbox will sing and you may even win some prizes perfectly orchestrated for Overland readers.

By taking out, renewing or giving an Overland subscription today, you could win:

  • today’s ‘Not a note wrong’ prize (see below)
  • any of the three sensational Major Prizes
  • and/or one of our Regional Prizes, including a most excellent prize for our New Zealand subscribers
  • a good feeling about yourself – and the future of progressive literary culture

Remember: current subscribers can also take this opportunity to resubscribe and go into the draw – we’ll simply add another year your existing subscription.
