We aim to provide as many publishing opportunities as we can for new, emerging and established writers.
Submissions open periodically for poetry, fiction and nonfiction for the print magazine, and Island Online. Selected writers from each submissions round will have the opportunity to work with our specialist editors and Managing Editor before their work is published.
We have also run the Gwen Harwood Poetry Prize since 1996 and in 2021 we launched the Island Nonfiction Prize.
We hope you’ll become part of the stellar community of more than 2000 writers published in Island since 1979.
