Since 2003, Griffith Review has been the leading literary magazine in Australia with an uncanny ability to anticipate emerging trends.

Each themed collection presents fresh insights and analysis of the big issues from pre-eminent Australian and international writers.

Its unique model features a mix of essays, memoir, reportage, short fiction, poetry and visual essays by emerging and established authors who tease out the complexity of current events.

Griffith Review is a high quality, agenda-setting, quarterly publication, delivering insight into the issues that matter most in a timely, authoritative and engaging fashion.

Griffith Review also plays an important role in supporting new and emerging writers alongside established authors, connecting them to a significant national audience and enriching public life. Scores of writers have had their first professional publication in Griffith Review, many of whom have consequently secured publishing contracts, scholarships and awards.

Griffith Review is edited by Julianne Schultz, whom the Canberra Times called ‘the ultra-marathoner of Australian cultural life’.

Established in 2003 by Griffith University as a non-partisan literary journal with a ‘pragmatically reforming heart’, Griffith Review reflects the University’s commitment to share knowledge across traditional boundaries, promote civic dialogue and participation.
