Hola! It's with a sense of sadness that we've decided it's for the best to postpone the launch of Issue Two that was scheduled for this Sunday at Low Key Bar. We'll reschedule another day, perhaps late February. Watch this space! Much love from the Curiouser team.

Well, this is lovely.

Holding my first printed short story in my hands last year was a pretty darn awesome moment ☺️ #AusWrites Curiouser Magazine - Issue Two now for sale!

We're considering opening submissions for our THIRD issue in the next month or so -- but we'd really like to move some of our stock before we do so! Visit curiousermag.com/store and give it a squiz. As of just last month, shipping and handling for Australia is free!

Rescheduled and raring to go! Come on by if you're in the Melbourne area (or are visiting), we'd love to see you in person.

It's a tough decision, but our third issue will be our last. Stay tuned for updates, but we can guarantee that it will be an exclusively Australian affair. Highly recommended to check out the last issue if you wish to submit! curiousermag.com/store/

What beautiful words! Thanks so much Emma Louise Gill (she/her), and thank you again for your lively contribution!

So hello and good weekend, people! I have just been informed that there are still copies of our second issue at Readings in Carlton. If you're interested, why not pop by and grab a book (any book, not just mine!)?

Looks like ArtsHub has reviewed our second issue, and it's right here! Give it a squiz! artshub.com.au/news/reviews/m…

Figured what the hell, I'll enter both issues of Curiouser into the @smallpressau's Book of the Year 2022 Awards! What's the worse that can happen? As ArtsHub wrote, we are "well worth a read for lovers of short stories, spec fic, horror, and weird fiction"!

How cool's this?

Submissions are now open for Issue Three! In a slight change of process, we're only accepting submissions from residents of Australia--sorry, international peeps! Give us a squiz, can't wait to hear from you! curiousermag.com/submissions/

Love this story! A brilliant and demented little tale, it's in our second issue. Check it out!

It's amazing, how much fewer submissions one gets when they're limited to residents of Australia! The floodgates ended up being a trickle, but over the last couple of months finally have a decent amount to go through over this long weekend! If you submitted, we're getting to it!
