Meanjin Information

Meanjin is Australia's oldest literary journal. Every quarter, the journal publishes a mix of essays, fiction, memoir and poetry in print and maintains a lively online and social media presence. Established in 1940, Meanjin has been supported by the University of Melbourne since 1945 and has been an imprint of Melbourne University Publishing since 2008. Known primarily as a literary magazine, Meanjin reflects the breadth of contemporary thinking, be it on literature, other art forms, or the broader issues of the times. This breadth has characterised Meanjin for more than 70 years, continuing under its ten subsequent editors—Jim Davidson, Judith Brett, Jenny Lee, Christina Thompson, Stephanie Holt, Ian Britain, Sophie Cunningham, Sally Heath, Zora Sanders and Jonathan Green.
