The Big Issue 2025 Fiction Edition
Whether you read it on your commute to work or perched in a tree, the annual Fiction Edition – still the country’s biggest-selling fiction magazine – has 11 new short stories to keep you company. Featuring stories from emerging and established writers alike, you’ll encounter ghosts and gargoyles, untangle complicated relationships and form curious new bonds, and turn up the volume on the voice of a loved one. And, maybe you’ll even discover a new favourite writer – before everyone else does.
Chosen from a total of 863 submissions by author and literary agent Danielle Binks; writer, editor and critic Claire Cao, and writer, editor and teacher Ben Hickey, The Big Issue’s editorial team and Melbourne vendor Mariann B. The Fiction Edition was made possible thanks to the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund.
