N – Call for Submissions to Griffith Review. Theme: Here Be Monsters
Griffith Review 89: Here Be Monsters
Portent, symbol, metaphor: from the Bunyip of Aboriginal folklore to the Slenderman of social media, from Count Dracula to the (far more sinister) emotional vampire, monsters of all forms have offered us ways to express and exorcise our fears for thousands of years. This edition of Griffith Review surveys beasts and bogeymen past and present, real and imagined, to peel back the layers of our social and cultural anxieties. What are we most afraid of? When is monstrosity alluring rather than frightening? And what form might the monsters of the future take?
Things for you to note:
* We’re looking for non-fiction only that responds to the theme.
* We want pieces that are no longer than 4,000 words (they can, of course, be much shorter than this).
* Attention poets! We’ll be opening a separate poetry call-out on 3 March – keep an eye on our social media and newsletter for more details soon.
* We’ll let you know the outcome of your submission within eight weeks of the call-out closing date.
Submissions close: 11:59 pm AEST, 16 February 2025
Publication date: August 2025
