Locative Magazine operates on unceded Gadigal and Dharug land. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of these lands and pay respect to First Nations Elders past and present.
Locative Magazine is an online publication of Australian fiction and poetry, founded on the earnest belief that there are many wonderful pieces of work out there still looking for a place to call home.
We will always offer free submissions and paid publication.
Our values are:
Variety – Publishing works and authors of all different styles, backgrounds and career stages, and particularly welcoming emerging authors to stand alongside more experienced voices.
Community – Creating and maintaining relationships with and between all writers, editors and publications. If you ever write for us or read from us, we’d love you welcome you as part of our community.
Rigor – Committing to polish, editing and refinement, recognising the labour inherent within creating works of exceptional literature.
For the current time and foreseeable future, Locative Magazine runs as a single-staff project managed by Harvey Liu.
Harvey Liu is a writer from Sydney, Australia. He has completed a Masters of Creative Writing from the University of Sydney, focusing on short fiction. His work has been featured in publications such as Peril Magazine and Cicerone Journal. In 2021 he participated in The Writing Zone, a program guiding emerging writers run by the Writing and Society Research Centre at Western Sydney University. After 10 years of various jobs across high school teaching, copywriting, tech journalism and administration, Locative Magazine is his first venture into literary publishing. He is of Chinese background and speaks Mandarin with a strong north-eastern accent.
Locative Magazine would not exist without the generous contributions and donated time of our good friends. Submissions are considered by the editor and potentially volunteer readers who kindly contribute their time and expertise to the publication.
