Kill Your Darlings accepts submissions of original writing at all times. Previously published material will not be considered. Kill Your Darlings publishes fiction, feature articles and investigative journalism, essays and other creative non-fiction. Reviews of contemporary books, theatre, music and film are also welcomed. We are particularly interested in retrospectives.

Kill Your Darlings enjoys reading work that has a fresh, intelligent angle, is anecdotal yet informed, or is just a little bit cheeky. We encourage our contributors to explore alternative viewpoints.
There are no distinct themes or deadlines for general submissions. There are no word limits. Contributors may submit as often as they wish, but please only send us your best work.

Hardcopy submissions should have:

• 1.5 line spacing
• Times New Roman font, size 12 point
• page numbers
• an attached cover letter, containing your name, all contact information and the title
  of your submission

We ask that your name not appear on the submission itself.

Submissions will not be returned – please don’t send us your only copy.

Submissions should be posted to:

Kill Your Darlings
PO Box 166
Parkville 3052
Victoria
AUSTRALIA

Or attached as a Word document and emailed to submissions@killyourdarlingsjournal.com

We encourage those who wish to submit essays, feature articles or reviews to email a one-page pitch to info@killyourdarlingsjournal.com before submitting.
