Island Magazine

Island is a not-for-profit premium Australian literary magazine of fiction, poetry, nonfiction and arts features. Since our beginnings in 1979 (as The Tasmanian Review), Island’s mission has remained the same: to produce a magazine with a national vision and audience that supports new, emerging and established writers and artists, and to bring works of excellence and variety to the reading public throughout Australia and overseas. Coming to you from the southernmost tip of Australia - the beautiful island of Tasmania - we have a unique commitment to being a national beacon for Tasmania’s diverse, vibrant writing and artistic distinction. For more than 40 years, we have identified, developed and published excellent new writing by more than 2000 Australian authors, including many who later achieved renown. In 2021, we took a bold new step: complementing our signature print magazine with a new website, Island Online, which now regularly publishes new online content as well as treasures from our rich 40+ year archive.
