Writers SA introduces Splinter; a literary journal that is sharp and hard to ignore.

Published biannually by Writers SA with support from Flinders University, UniSA, the University of Adelaide and Arts SA, Splinter is dedicated to showcasing local writers in their rightful place alongside national and international authors and poets.

Splinter was established in 2024 and is the only print journal published out of Tarntanya and the first national literary journal spearheaded by Writers SA in our near-40 year history.

The first edition will be published in November 2024. For more information, to subscribe or to submit your writing visit splinterjournal.com.

The text on the cover in the above mock-up is an excerpt from the poem ‘sealed tight for safety’ by Hasib Hourani, which was first published in Cordite Poetry Review in 2021.
