About FOLK Magazine

We’re For The Culture.

We create it, champion it, curate it; and sometimes, challenge it. We unapologetically prioritise the voices and stories of the sixty-percent of our population society and mainstream media have this weird habit of ignoring. At FOLK we believe there’s still so much talent in our communities that is yet to be seen—and we’re dedicated to making sure that it’s seen/heard/watched/played. And we’re not about to stop anytime soon.

Our Folks are no different. They’re willing to question the status quo and to create their ideal future into being. Their avocado-on-toast brunches are spent collaborating and finding new ways to get more people to the table and they’re not taking no for an answer.

What type of work are we interested in?

The best way is to read the work we publish, both on our online and print platforms. We're formally agnostic and love receiving submissions that make us think creatively. You don't have to write the bravest, most-new, most never-seen-before work. We want something that excites you and would excite our FOLKs.

Our annual print publications are necessarily limited and cannot support news, current affairs or #hottakes on time sensitive events. Works that can speak generally to their context while driving a 'timeless' argument make for strong submissions. As we are a generalist publication, we like to keep the discourse on our platforms accessible and thus specialist or scholarly submissions are discouraged.
