We’re Underground. We’re that indie writing newsletter going around Perth you may (or may not) have heard about.

In a nutshell…

• Are you sick of your best writing lingering at the back of your journal?
• Do you want people to see what you’re capable of?
• Have you got some poem or prose that you’re dying for people to read?
• Is the only reason you don’t submit to a professional journal the sheer intimidation and sense of competition?
• Do you want to experience the thrill of having something published for the public to see?

If your answer to any of those questions was yes, Underground is for you! We’re an independent, free zine focused on anything and everything writing. Underground is run by a group of students who all have a passion for writing and are looking to share it with the world. If you want to submit, head on over to the Submissions Guidelines page to find out more.

In no way is Underground trying to directly combat professional writing journals such as Indigo; Underground merely recognizes that there is a distinctly untapped market that we’d love to see flourish – students who don’t feel comfortable submitting their work to a big-name journal. We’re doing this out of the goodness of our own hearts.

Underground is a completely not-for-profit zine published quarterly and distributed around local WA campuses and cafes. Electronic copies are also available on this website as they’re published. If you’d like to follow our progress, we’ll put you on our mailing list: send Chris an email to webadmin@underground-writers.org and we’ll have you sorted in a jiffy!
