Antipodes Antipodes was established in 1987 by the AAALS. Since then, the journal has become widely respected for its extensive and distinctive coverage of Australian literature and culture--and a valuable source for those interested in the antipodes. Here's why: Antipodes publishes new work by Australian poets and fiction writers. Antipodes is a fully-refereed academic journal Antipodes offers original essays (all refereed) on Australian writers' work since 1788, on film and art, on varied ways to examine the country's literature and culture. The contributors are from all parts of the world. Antipodes provides in-depth interviews with writers. Antipodes reviews fiction, poetry, and drama, as well as biography, criticism, and social history. Written by informed reviewers, the criticism is extended, well-balanced, and objective. Antipodes furnishes an annual bibliography of Australian literature and criticism published in North America. Antipodes makes full use of photographs and art. Produced in a handsome 8-1/2 by 11 inch format, the journal is as pleasant to look at as it is to read.

Essays on any aspect of Australian literature and/or culture are invited; comparative studies are especially encouraged. The essays should not exceed 5000 words and should conform to MLA style. Antipodes does not pay for essays or book reviews. Please consult the Antipodes style sheet before submitting a  contribution! Submissions of short fiction, parts of novels, drama, poetry by Australian writers are invited. Each story, poem and piece of 'creative nonfiction' published in Antipodes is rewarded with US$ 50 and one complementary copy of the journal. Antipodes publishes only fiction, poetry, articles, and interviews that have not appeared in other publications: Antipodes therefore does NOT accept simultaneous submissions. Though based in North America, we are widely read and distributed electronically in Australia and the same audience who read magazines published in Australia will read this magazine. The globalization of publishing means that it is impossible for us to publish a story that appears in any other magazine anywhere in the world.  All material is subject to editing to conform with Antipodes style. All U.S. submissions should be accompanied by a stamped return envelope. All correspondence with the Editors must be by e-mail or snail-mail. Because of international telephone costs, faxing or telephoning are impossible for the editors of ANTIPODES. All accepted articles will, after editing and formatting for the issue in which they are to appear, be e-mailed to the authors in PDF form. PDF requires Adobe Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded for free at www.adobe.com. No other format can be used. PDF proofs must be responded to within two weeks--this is a firm deadline--and any corrections communicated to the Editor or Associate Editor. At this stage, no substantive alteration can be made--spelling and italicization corrects and slight rewordings are all that can be accommodated. International postage coupons are requested in order to return overseas mail. The editors and publishers of Antipodes assume no responsibility for contributors' opinions. Antipodes is indexed in the annual MLA International Bibliography and in AUSTLIT. Copyright of fiction and poetry lies with the authors. Permission to reprint critical material must be obtained from Antipodes, and full credit given. Any images or copyright material to appear in an article must be obtained by the author before the article is submitted to ANTIPODES. The Editors will take no responsibility for such material. In addition, any permissions required by changes in text or presentation, or added images requested by the Editors, must be obtained by the author.   Notice-Board Important notice on unauthorized reproduction of Antipodes Material June 2006: Peggie Ashlevitz of Thomson Gale, the vendor who was selling Antipodes articles on Amazon, has assured the Editor of Antipodes that, as of July 2006, all material from Antipodes will no longer be available for purchase on Amazon. 2005: The editors of Antipodes have recently become aware that individual articles from the journal are being sold for $5.95 on amazon.com.
