In each edition, an SRB contributor helps us unpack our archive, curating a collection that places their own writing in conversation with other works from the journal’s eleven-year history. What does it mean to be part of the SRB archive? What connections emerge from viewing one’s writing in this context?

07/28/2023 - Welcome to SRB Unarchived, our guest edited newsletter series
Newsletter
The SRB has been sending free newsletters to subscribers since our launch in 2013. The newsletters bring together all the reviews, essays and interviews we have recently publish. They also introduce the emerging writers and critics we champion through our fellowship and residency programs, as well as guiding readers through our archive.
We have been committed since day one to ensuring that the writing we publish travels far. We want to contribute to a public discourse about Australian literature and to share our essays and reviews as widely as possible. The best way to do this is to keep the SRB freely accessible to all readers. So the newsletter is a free resource for readers, writers, scholars, journalists – for anyone interested in Australian literature and critical culture. We encourage you to sign up and to share the newsletter with friends, family, and colleagues.
