Digital issues
From Island 171, we are delighted to offer readers the option to purchase a digital version of the print magazine.
You can purchase either a single issue for $15, or a 4-issue digital subscription for the discounted price of $50. Subscriptions will start with the current issue.
The digital option is available from the publishing platform, Issuu* and will be delivered direct to your inbox - you can also access them through your web browser. Issues will be available in a flipbook format that mimics flipping through a printed magazine. You'll also be able to download your purchases (as a single page pdf).
*Note: Credit card details are not held by Issuu, but managed securely through Stripe, the same payment processing system that we used for all store items.
SUBMITWould you like to be published in Island?
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.
SupportWith your support, we will publish more storytellers, thinkers and artists
In addition to arts funding, we depend on the support and goodwill of our community of readers, writers, artists and benefactors.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation. Island is a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), so any donations you make over $2 are tax-deductible.
We also want to build advertising partnerships with companies that are aligned with Island’s values.
