Wet Ink magazine is an Australian magazine devoted to publishing new Australian writing, with an emphasis on new and emerging writers. Published quarterly, it features fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction, plus an interview with a writer and book reviews. Work published ranges from 'literary' to genre-based work. Works are complemented by photography, illustration and clever design.
It was founded in Adelaide in 2005 by a team of writers and readers who wanted to address the lack of publishing opportunities for new writers in Australia. It is funded through advertising, subscriptions, sponsorship and sales.
