Griffith Review: On the Money
Griffith Review is an Australian literary magazine and they want submissions of nonfiction and fiction; the theme for this issue is, On the Money. “Money talks – but it doesn’t always speak the truth. It’s also far more than a medium of exchange and a store of value: money is a status symbol, a friendship destroyer, an opportunity creator, a psychological blocker, an obsession, a dream, a curse, an albatross and an elephant in the room.
And if money makes the world go round, it’s spinning us faster than ever these days. Do we stand any chance of bridging the wealth gap? How does money influence our behaviour? What part does it play in the erosion of democracy and institutional trust? Should financial literacy be taught in schools? And does anyone actually understand crypto?
This edition of Griffith Review follows the money to tally the past, present and future of our filthy lucre.” They mostly accept work from writers in Australia, and some work from overseas writers. Length guidelines are up to 4,000 words. Pay is AUD0.75/word. The deadline is 24 August 2025 (see guidelines). Details here and here.

Deadline: August 24th, 2025
