Participating Services Unions Flipside #56

 

It’s that time again!

We’re calling on our community to contribute to the next issue of Flipside, our community-led magazine that shares voices, stories, and perspectives from people with lived and living experience of alcohol and other drugs.

The theme for this issue is “Family Matters”—and we want your creative interpretation of all things family.

Family means different things to different people, and it may not be just your blood relatives. We want to hear about what family means to you.

We welcome written pieces (stories, reflections, poetry, interviews, essays), visual art, photography, or anything in between. You don’t need to be a professional writer or artist – if you have something to say, we want to hear it.

Submissions are invited up to and including Monday 21st July 

We offer a payment of $50 for every contribution we publish.  

Remember to let us know how we should attribute you. You might want to maintain anonymity, use a pseudonym, or your first name or initials.

Our Editorial Policy

APSU strives to minimise editorial changes but we may edit the work so it fits within the size and theme of a Flipside edition. The maximum word length is around 1000 words, though we might accept longer works.

Read past issues of Flipside here.  

Make a submission by sending your work to

lgoebel@sharc.org.au

You can contact us if you have any questions or just want to chat about your submission.

Warm regards,

APSU
