Who we are
Wet Ink is put together by a passionate team of writers and a designer who decided to do something about the lack of opportunities for writers to publish their short works and readers to access them.
After much discussion, that ‘something’ became Wet Ink—an attractive quarterly magazine that showcases the best new writers alongside established authors: from fiction writers and poets to memoirists and social commentators. We publish a wide range of styles, from traditional to experimental, literary to quality genre, depending on the submissions we receive.
Wet Ink is designed to look and feel as good as it reads. Our dedication to encouraging new talent extends to all areas of the magazine—where possible we also use emerging photographers and illustrators. We’re also committed to reviewing books from small or new publishers, which you might not hear about in other publications.We care about the environment—we print on recycled paper and the global warming impact of our production has been removed by Carbon Planet.
The Wet Ink team is based in South Australia and is an independent non-profit incorporation. We rely on sales, subscriptions, sponsorships and advertising to survive. We are also kindly supported by the Australia Council Literature Board.
Since our first issue was published in December 2005, some of our contributors (including some whose work we were the first to publish) have gone on to greater things—from winning literary and photographic prizes to having their first book published. We like to think that we’ve contributed to their success.
