We’re delighted to announce the contributors to our fifth print anthology of short stories, New Australian Fiction 2023.
‘There’s something magical about seeing stories that arrive to us in Word documents come to life in the ink and paper of an actual book and resonate with readers all around the country, and that was my experience with New Australian Fiction 2022,’ says series editor Suzy Garcia:
‘To have the opportunity to work towards that again with the 2023 edition has been a dream—surreal, and full of that alchemy that turns ‘a word after a word after a word’ into something more, something that transcends the page and has the power to enter both the mind and heart. This new anthology offers twelve new stories that are wondrous, amusing, moving and crafted with incredible passion. Alongside the Kill Your Darlings team, I am very excited to be showcasing these talented writers from across Australia, all of who add something unique to the fabric of this country’s literature.’
