About the publisher

Established in 2020, Debris Magazine is a literary print magazine founded in Melbourne, on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

Debris refers to remains: leftovers, scattered pieces, detritus, refuse. We adopt ‘debris’ as a name to reflect the stories and voices that are not traditionally heard in so-called ‘Australia’. Our mission is to nurture and support the development of excellent writing.

Typically 120-145 pages, each issue centres around a theme and features fiction, creative nonfiction, artist conversations, poetry, reviews and a photo essay. The magazine is national in readership, authorship, distribution, events and partners. It is available in print and online.
