AUSTRALIAN WRITING ONLINE is a small press distribution service which we
hope will help Australian magazines, journals and publishers to reach a
much wider audience through the internet. As a first step we will be
posting information and subscription details for a number of magazines
and publishers to a number of discussion groups and lists. We hope to
build up a large emailing list which includes as many libraries as
possible. If you know of a list or discussion group which you think might
be worthwhile posting to please email,or if you would like to receive
future postings please contact AWOL directly on [email-masked].

Please note that [email-masked] is a temporary address until we
set up our own address sometime next year

Coppertales: A Journal of Rural Arts

'Coppertales' is a journal of 180 pages edited by Brian Musgrove and
Chris Lee and currently published in the form of an annual anthology by
the Faculty of Arts at the University of Southern Queensland and the
University of Southern Queensland Press.  In 1995 it has been supported
by the Queensland Government through the Minister for the Arts.

'Coppertales' publishes poetry, short fiction, articles, art work,
reviews and interviews which feature the rural experience.  Its aim is to
provide a space for the representation and promotion of Queensland and
Australian rural culture.  Too often rural Australia is misrepresented as
a simple and outdated cliche by interests confined to the metropolitan
center.  This journal establishes a forum for the diversity of interests
and opinion which are characteristic of this country's regional cultures.

'Coppertales' is not exclusively committed to regional items.  It
recognises that rural people are just as interested in the ideas and
values of metropolitan and international cultures as they in those of
their own localities.  'Coppertales' will publish metropolitan work of
quality which may be of interest to a rural audience.

The inaugural issue of the journal features poetry from Bruce Dawe, Coral
Hull, Megan Redfern, and Mark Mahemoff, short fiction from Ness Shannon,
Ian Crowther and H. Hayes, a travel essay from Pat Buckridge, and an
interview with Thomas Keneally.

Contributors receive a complimentary copy of the journal and all
contributions are refereed through an editorial advisory board. 
Subscriptions are Aust$12 (Aust$20 for institutions) overseas
subscriptions $Aus20 per annum and are available from the Department of
Humanities, Faculty of Arts, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba
