    Information about your publication

    The Canary Press is a short story magazine based in Melbourne. The magazine started when its two editors, Robert Skinner and Andy Josselyn, read a short story that was so dull that Robert screamed and threw his table out the window, and Andy cried for three days. It was all cleverness and trickery.

    We are deeply in love with short stories but we think they have been taken hostage by undergraduate writing classes, and by people who know everything there is to know about literature except how to enjoy it.

    We want to publish stories that make people grab their friends by the ankles and say, “Hey, you gotta READ this!”

    What type of submissions are you looking for?

    We are looking for big short stories; stories that make us laugh in that spot right next to the spot that hurts. Write with feeling, passion and humor. Don’t write to impress your university professor.
