It’s finally here! Released today, Kill Your Darlings Issue 20 is available to purchase through our shop or at stockists around Australia. Print and online subscribers can read it online now.
In this issue, writers offer new perspectives on marriage and romance; we turn a spotlight on sport in Australia, including cricket, AFL and WWE; plus, new fiction from Jessie Cole and Anna Spargo-Ryan, and an interview with Peter Carey.
View the contents in full here, and read Brigid Mullane’s editorial to get a taste of the issue. We also have three articles available free online.
- Proud feminist Lou Heinrich explore the meanings and motivations that led her to take her husband’s name.
- Kate Harper finds herself up close and personal at the WWE.

This issue also contains excerpts from the three long-form essays produced as part of the Kill Your Darlings Copyright Agency Investigative Journalism Mentorships. Daniel Burdon reflects on the fragile future of the Great Barrier Reef; Royce Kurmelovs highlights the effects of the closure of the Holden factory on Adelaide’s north; while Alexandra Potter looks at the NSW Government’s lock-out scheme and the rise of alcohol-related violence. We are delighted to be publishing these pieces in full on our site later this month; keep an eye on Killings in the coming weeks.
Happy reading!
