Share your work
We want Bacon & Eggs to be shaped by local creatives and storytellers. If you’re a writer, photographer or artist with work you’d like to see published, we welcome submissions for future issues.
We’re looking for thoughtful, well-crafted pieces that reflect the lived experience, creativity and curiosity of the Goulburn Mulwaree and Upper Lachlan region.
What we publish
Each issue will include a mix of written and visual work, including:
- Photo essays, visual series or single feature images
- Personal essays and reflective writing
- Short stories (fiction) and poetry
- Profiles of local people, groups and organisations
- Advice or expertise pieces from people working in their field
- Illustrations, drawing and graphic artwork
If you’re unsure where your work fits, you’re still encouraged to submit.
Please contact us if you have questions.
Submission guidelines
Our editorial process is thoughtful and collaborative, and submitting work means you’re open to editing for clarity, length and fit.
Bacon & Eggs is created for a broad, community-based readership. Submissions should be appropriate for this audience. We reserve the right to decline work that doesn’t align with the tone, values or intended readership of the magazine.
Written work
- We accept both fiction and non-fiction pieces
- Work can be written in first-person or third-person as appropriate
- Suggested length: 500–1,200 words (will vary based on type of work)
- Submissions should be complete pieces rather than idea pitches
- Work must be original and not previously published elsewhere
- Content should be appropriate for the magazine’s audience
Visual work
- Artwork should be high-quality and suitable for print
- Photography may be submitted as single images, series or photo essays
- If material contains people, the photographer is responsible for seeking appropriate consent to publish
- Content should be appropriate for the magazine’s audience
- Preference will be given to visual works with a clear link to the people and places of the Goulburn Mulwaree and Upper Lachlan region
Credit and Payment
All contributors will be credited in print, with a short bio and/or profile, and their work will be promoted through our social media channels and newsletter.
During the launch phase, we’re not currently able to offer financial payment for contributions.
As the magazine grows, we plan to introduce paid opportunities for contributors.
