Griffith Review‘s annual showcase of the best of Australian new writing presents stories of inner lives, resilience and potential realised.

It features the four winners of our annual novella competition – Rhianna Boyle, Claire G Coleman, Mikele Prestia and Kate Veitch – as well as exciting new work from Thomas Major, Kristina Olsson, Adam Thompson, Linda Neil and Allanah Hunt. There’s new poetry from a compelling range of vital Australian voices, and the first in an ongoing series of pieces that will feature online over December and January, The Elemental Summer, from award-winning climate scientist Joëlle Gergis.
