It's hard to go past the placeholder text that our webmaster originally put here. "This is information about the magazine. We are this old. We are this awesome." If we elaborate a little though, Going Down Swinging is a curious beast. Founded in 1980 by broke writers Kevin Brophy and Myron Lysenko, and employing a Hall of Fame of different editors along the way, we've spent the last 31 years helping broke writers publish other broke writers. Along the way we've developed a reputation as Australia's most innovative and idiosyncratic literary journal. Brophy and Lysenko's original components of fiction, essay and poetry have long sat side by side with the audio and the visual. The only Australian journal to regularly publish spoken word CDs along with each print edition, we also publish full-colour graphic novellas, and commission performance pieces to send on tour. In 2011 the evolution continues, with our first all-digital edition. This is much more than simply putting a paper journal online. GDS #31 is an all-new publication, featuring video, audio, fiction, photography, poetry, and visual art, disparate forms talking to each other in a way that could never be done in print. Smartphones and e-readers mean the journal will be available to anyone with an internet connection. Which is good, because it means GDS can keep bringing you the best artists you've never heard of.

Collapse is an independent, non-affiliated journal of philosophical research and development, launched in 2006. The aim of the journal, which is printed twice yearly in a limited edition of 1000, is to bring together philosophers and theorists, artists and scientists to explore fundamental themes and ideas which academic philosophy, in its tendency towards specialisation and partisanship, increasingly fails to address. Each volume is carefully curated so that contributions from very different areas of research intersect in unexpected and productive ways, suggesting new lines of thought."
