Australian
Book Review is Australias oldest literary review and
publishes reviews, essays, letters and new creative writing.
It is a fully independent and not-for-profit organisation. ABRs
primary aims are to foster high critical standards, to publish
outstanding new writing, and to contribute to the preservation
of literary values and a full appreciation of Australias
literary heritage. ABR also encourages writers by initiating
poetry, essay and reviewing competitions, with generous prizes,
and presents public conversations about literature and ideas
throughout Australia.
Cultural
philanthropy has always been a feature of the visual and performing
arts in this country but not of literature. We believe
that good writing and cogent critique are every bit as deserving
as opera companies and art galleries. ABR seeks your
financial support to help us improve and diversify the magazine.
Patrons will have the distinction of making a tangible and pioneering
contribution to this small but vibrant agent of literary ideals!
Why do we need Patrons?
More new writing
Fresh initiatives and events
Outstanding new contributors
Additional and more lucrative prizes
New publishing projects
