Landfall 247: Autumn 2024

Landfall is New Zealand's foremost and longest-running arts and literary journal. Published twice a year, each volume showcases two full-colour art portfolios and brims with vital new fiction, poetry, cultural commentary, reviews, and biographical and critical essays. Bringing together a range of voices and perspectives, from established practitioners to emerging talents, Landfall is an exciting anthology that has its finger on the pulse of innovation and creativity in Aotearoa today. Landfall 247: Autumn 2024 announces the winner of the Landfall Young Writers' Essay Competition, an annual competition that encourages young, up-and-coming writers to explore the world around them through words. Landfall 247 will feature the winning essay, alongside the judge's report from Landfall editor, Lynley Edmeades. Landfall 247 also includes essays from the 2024 collaboration between Landfall and RMIT University's nonfiction/Lab. These trans-Tasman essays, written in collaboration between New Zealand and Australian writers, focus on the theme of 'making space,' and what it means to use writing as a tool to create space for different voices, perspectives and ideas.
