An Australian online (un)literary magazine publishing works which typically struggle to find a place in literature, particularly speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, etc), mixed genre and experimental works.

Woven Webs is an online (un)literary magazine, inspired by “web weaving”, an online practice in which disparate media are presented together, united by a common theme, usually juxtaposing art traditionally seen as high and low brow. 

Woven Webs seeks publish and highlight works which typically struggle to find a place in literature, particularly speculative fiction and works that experiment with multiple mediums. Woven Webs aims to break down the barrier between genre and literary creative writing, and between “lowly entertainment” and “respected art”.

All genres are accepted. Woven Webs is particularly seeking speculative (science fiction, fantasy, etc), mixed genre and experimental works. Creators are encouraged to submit pieces that may struggle to be published elsewhere and that experiment with form.

Issue 01 “City of Churches” boasts work from 25 South Australian creatives, 75% of them under 27, highlighting emerging talent alongside established creators. In this 103 page collection of stories, poems and art you'll meet a vengeful mermaid, an exhausted vampire, the personification of a sex shop, an artist in love with a skeleton, many haunted objects and even more women who love women. 

Currently Woven Webs only accepts submissions from Australian creators.
