Published 8 November 20228 November 2022 · Main Posts Even more reasons to subscribe to Overland in the words of our fiction readers team Editorial team Trish BoltonYou won’t find the usual suspects writing for Overland, and hurrah for that. What you will find are diverse, intelligent, independent and thought-provoking voices, along with long-form journalism and critical analysis, now all but dead in mainstream media. Overland is also renowned for supporting emerging writers and for publishing fiction that is not only inspiring but offers different perspectives and new ways of seeing you won’t find anywhere else.Zoë MeagerOverland is such an exciting space for fiction readers and writers, because it always feels so alive with possibility. Heaps of writers I’ve read for the first time in Overland I then go on to read more and more of. It’s really a treasure to have this kind of meeting place that’s so welcoming and supportive of fiction writers, and has such a strong sense of purpose. I volunteer as a fiction reader, and I’m consistently impressed by the passion and respect shown to all the work that’s sent in, not to mention the editorial support. What Overland does for fiction feels absolutely vital. Emilie CollyerOverland is so important to me as a writer and a reader. It was one of the first publications to enthusiastically accept my pitches for non-fiction pieces and affirm that the writing I wanted to do about urgent social matters for artists and writers really mattered. As a fiction editorial assistant it is a privilege to read the works that writers submit. As a journal subscriber and reader I get to learn about so many different perspectives, issues, events and ideas. I get to immerse myself in poetry, fiction and nonfiction pieces that range in content and style and are all written from a deep place of care and rigorous inquiry. Overland provides a place, an anchor, a way to be connected and be reminded that striving for something better for everyone is and always will be a core function of literature and art.If you support the literary pages and spaces we make, show us by subscribing, renewing or donating during this one very important week.Anyone who subscribes, renews or donates by Friday 11 November goes into the running for three truly astounding prize draws – the major prize draw, the daily prize draw and the regional prize draw!An annual subscription – which includes four print issues, the daily online magazine, invitations to subscriber events, discounted entry to Overland competitions, and other opportunities and giveaways – is just $60 full and $45 students/unwaged.Speaking of prizes, we are extremely thankful to our generous friends and supporters who made this year’s Subscriberthon possible!
