Two weeks ago, we announced a new Twitter competition: tweet a piece of pandemic-themed fiction with the hashtag #Meanjin280.

We were amazed at the high quality of the entries, and struggled to choose just ten. Instead, we’ve selected 12 to each win a 12-month digital subscription to Meanjin, as well as publication right here on the blog.

Meanjin is open again for subscriptions! Thank you all for your patience as we’ve undertaken the transfer of the journal to its new home.

The next edition of Meanjin will be available from December 2026. Information on the purchase of single editions – in print or ePub formats – will be available closer to time.
