I'd like to make a comprehensive list of literary Australian magazines and anthologies. As I come across more, I'll list them here.

Every Writer's Resource website features a list of the top 50 Literary Magazines, who accept unsolicited submissions. The criteria for making the list is also based on date established, number of submissions, number of inclusions in national anthologies, and circulation.

Best American Short Stories List

Entries for the ABC Radio short story competition
are due at the end of next week.

I entered last year after discovering this competition a week before the deadline. I submitted "Vanilla", which was the only story I had that was complete and met the word count. It wasn't really appropriate (it's a bit raunchy), but it's funny and fresh. I'm not surprised that it wasn't chosen.

This year I started thinking about the competition two months in advance.
