Azuria is an independent journal published by Geelong Writers inc. in the early months of each year. Our aim is to build bridges between Geelong’s literary community and the wider world. To this end, the works of writers from Geelong, Melbourne, and other parts of Australia, have appeared along side of contributions from places as distant as Augustów, Berlin, Dili, Los Angeles, Singapore, Tallinn and Vilnius.

You are invited to submit essays, poems and short stories in response to the theme LAS AMERICAS for the next edition.

USA: J R Lowell (1819 – 1891)
Cuba: José Martí (1853 – 1895)
Chile: Gabriela Mistral (1889 – 1957)

Let us (re)discover and translate poets from Québec & México & Chile, find tales of travelling through the Andes and Mayan jungles, conduct interviews with American writers living in Geelong. Let us write about how we consider those ancient and new societies, and their literatures, and especially their impact upon our lives, and read accounts from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Submissions should be sent by e-mail to geelongwriters@gmail.com with the annotation “Submission_Surname” [that is, your surname] in the subject line.

Please attach work as an MSWORD *.doc or *.docx file, and any images should be set in JPG format. Address the e-mail to:

The Editorial Group / Azuria / Geelong Writers inc.,

including a concise 50 word literary biography along with contact and postal information in the body of the e-mail.
