About Westerly

Westerly, one of Australia’s leading literary journals, is published by The Westerly Centre and is based at The University of Western Australia. Since its inception in 1956, Westerly has published fiction, poetry and essays with a special emphasis on Australia, particularly WA, and the Asian region.

The Magazine has been instrumental in the careers of many national and internationally renowned writers, including major WA writers such as Randolph Stow, Dorothy Hewett, T. A. G. Hungerford and Elizabeth Jolley; highly awarded contemporary writers, including Tim Winton, Kim Scott and Sally Morgan; and important local poets like John Kinsella, Tracy Ryan, John Mateer and Lucy Dougan.

Westerly is published with the support of Creative Australia, the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, The University of Western Australia and the Arthur Finn Bequest. We are, as always, extremely grateful for this support.
