Landfall

New Zealand's most established literary journal, Landfall publishes literary fiction and essays, poetry, extracts from work in progress, criticism and commentary on New Zealand arts and culture, work by photographers and artists and reviews of New Zealand books. (Landfall does not accept unsolicited reviews.) Landfall is open to work by New Zealand and Pacific writers, or by other writers who have visited New Zealand or whose work has some other connection (e.g. subject matter, location) with New Zealand or the Pacific region. While many established names appear in Landfall, it is always eager to find exciting work from new writers.
