In our debut issue, we look at a story that delves behind the veneer of the modern Australian woman. Hola! Salut! Hej! Chào! whether it be a starting point to pursuing a career in writing or as a new avenue for creativity. This is your chance to really push the boundaries of your work and I look forward to reading these stories in future issues. This first issue focuses on uncovering the stories behind the Australian woman. This issue features a short story written by myself which explores the depths of loss in a woman that is hidden by fear and inequality in her relationship. I suppose it’s appropriate to encouraging new writers to be fearless by first exposing my own vulnerabilities. A fair enough trade, I would say. Salamat! Habari and Hello!
