Published 11 November 202211 November 2022 · Main Posts On the last day of Subscriberthon, our amazing online editor gives you one last (very good) reason to subscribe Editorial team Every year, we strive to make our Subscriberthon week a sampler of what the online magazine has to offer. That’s why we feature both a poem and a short story—selected by Toby Fitch and Claire Corbett, respectively—alongside nonfiction and a cartoon or comic, usually by the inimitable Sam Wallman. (It is one of the joys of my life to have been able to work with this man.) (But I digress.)The nonfiction, in turn, includes anything from film and book reviews to essays on political and social issues—interventions that, as in the case of Monday’s piece by Lilly Ryan and Lizzie O’Shea on the fall of Twitter, respond to events outside the production cycle of print or that, like Jeff Sparrow’s longform essay on socialist realism and the history of Overland, or John Kinsella’s examination of the work of Lionel Fogarty, sit alongside the commentary that the journal is best known for.But, even as I can’t wait for you to read the contribution by Evelyn Araluen with which we’re closing out our 2022 Subscriberthon, I would encourage you to come back next week, and the one after that, or dip into the archives: outside of this week’s showcase, we work hard to bring our readers exciting writing by a new and diverse range of voices, along the more seasoned radicals and assorted malcontents you’ve come to know and love.Our digital edition is not something you purchase with your subscription, as it’s freely accessible to all, but it relies just as much on that support. Think of it this way: if you’re not buying it for yourself, you’re buying for someone else.– Giovanni Tiso, Overland online editorFYI: The Judith Wright Poetry Prize and Neilma Sidney Short Story Prize are closing soonNeed even more reasons to subscribe?
