Splinter is a new literary journal that is interested in the gaps between perception and reality and what happens when we get stuck in those gaps. It is published twice a year from Tarntanya (Adelaide, Australia). They are always looking for writing that considers how reality is made and how it can be broken. They are particularly keen on writing that acknowledges that existence is silly and absurd and also, somehow, really serious. According to their pitch guide, they pay $900 for profiles, essays, and fiction, $600 for memoir, $700 for criticism, $250/poem and $450 for a poetry collection, and $500 for ''writing about writing.''
