Salt's origins date back to 1990 when poet John Kinsella launched Salt Magazine in Western Australia. The journal rapidly developed an international reputation as a leading publisher of new poetry and poetics.

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.

PM Press was founded at the end of 2007 by a small collection of folks with decades of publishing, media, and organizing experience. PM Press co-conspirators have published and distributed hundreds of books, pamphlets, CDs, and DVDs. Members of PM have founded enduring book fairs, spearheaded victorious tenant organizing campaigns, and worked closely with bookstores, academic conferences, and even rock bands to deliver political and challenging ideas to all walks of life. We're old enough to know what we're doing and young enough to know what's at stake.

Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Sleepers was founded by Zoe Dattner and Louise Swinn in July 2003. Zoe and Louise are aided and abetted by a team of interns and work experiencers, too many and too valuable to mention, as well as a veritable smorgasbord of mentors and friends, not to mention our long-suffering families. We aim to build a broad desire for and recognition of good writing by publishing and promoting new and emerging authors.

"Antonia Hirsch's The Surplus Library on Affect and Economic Exchange considers the library as a unique social space in which knowledge is circulated through a system of non-monetary trade or interpersonal exchange. The project's website displays cover images of books on the subject along with the email addresses of their owners, and an open invitation to participate in the completely inefficient process of borrowing a book via mail. (To be included in the library, a book must be deemed worthwhile by Hirsch.) By facilitating the global exchange of these books about exchange-containers for ideas, but also personal objects marked by marginalia, dog-eared pages, personal inscriptions-Hirsch examines the relationship between social bonds and the production (and consumption) of knowledge. The Surplus Library, begun in 2011, currently includes around one hundred titles. In the past two years, Hirsch has also edited Intangible Economies, a thematically related series of articles published in the Canadian art magazine Fillip, where she is an editor at large; an anthology of the same name was published in the fall. Triple Canopy's Brittany Paris discussed the project and the book with Hirsch over Skype and email in November and December."
