Griffith Review is an Australian literary magazine and they want fiction and nonfiction submissions for issue 95; the theme is Bodies of Work. “Modern life can be a curiously disembodied experience: we swipe and scroll, crop and click, zoom and control+z; our interactions are often mediated by screens or filters; we no longer look one another in the eye as we once did (or we’re forced to do it on Teams).
Are our flesh-and-blood selves becoming attenuated and atomised by the increasingly digital texture of our days? What’s the fate of the human body in this age of looksmaxxing and biohacking? How do our historic perceptions and misconceptions of bodily states and identities, including disability and gender, inform our present and shape our future?”
They mostly accept work from writers in Australia, and some work from overseas writers. Do not send poetry. They pay AUD0.75/word for prose up to 4,000 words. The submission deadline is 23 August 2026 (11:59 pm AEST). Details here and here

Deadline: August 23rd, 2026
