indigo journal

The new space for Western Australian writers to get published

indigo journal is now published by Tactile Books—a new publishing house committed to Western Australia's creative talent. Originally the membership journal of Out of the Asylum Writers' Group, indigo flourishes from the assistance of the local writing community, various funding bodies and your generous support.

Inside indigo you are sure to find the first writings of the next big literary name sitting alongside new work by established WA writers. Each volume is centred around a particular genre. Volume 2, now available online and in bookshops, focuses on Poetry. Volume 3, now available online and in bookshops, focuses on the Personal Essay. Volume 4 will focus on Short Story.

Watch out for future volumes featuring The Novel, Indigenous Writing, Multicultural Writing, Children's Writing, Science Fiction, Graphic Novels, and even Romance Writing.

indigo is devoted solely to the creative writing of Western Australian writers. If you live in WA, or have spent at least 10 years of your life in WA, you are eligible to submit.

Published twice a year, indigo is promoted across Australia. Guest editors are drawn from respected writers living all over the country who, at their discretion,  provide feedback to contributors to help develop their talent.

Views expressed in indigo are not necessarily those of the editors or the publisher.

indigo is available in bookshops and online through Fremantle Press.
