Griffith Review is an Australian literary magazine and they want fiction and nonfiction submissions for issue 93; the theme is Into the Archive. “The archive has long been a form of collection, preservation and communication. As the internet and social media reshape what, why and how we record information, whether for personal or institutional means, the nature of the archive itself is also in flux. How does the archive mediate the relationship between public and private space? How do archives shape individual and collective memory? Should the archivist preserve without intervention? What will the archives of the future look like? And in what ways do other mediums – bodies, places, cultures – act as their own kinds of archive? This edition of Griffith Review goes on the record to reveal the secrets and surprises of the archive.”

Griffith Review is an Australian literary magazine and they want fiction and non-fiction submissions for issue 92; the theme is Lost and Found. “'Loss,' wrote Marcus Aurelius, 'is nothing else but change'. We lose face, lose time, lose heart, lose touch, lose ground, lose our keys (often); we can lose the things that hold us back or weigh us down, just as we can lose the people and places we love most. Loss, whether it offers us pain or reward, is fundamental to the experience of being human. What might we lose or gain as technology continues its rapid advance? How do we halt the loss of our natural world? What's lost by growing up between cultures? Are we losing our sense of a shared reality? And what are the benefits to being a loser?'
