Magazine background

Salt Magazine began life in Australia in 1990 under the editorship of John Kinsella, it rapidly developed an reputation as an exciting venue for a wide range of writers and writing practices: international, diverse and pluralistic. The magazine has had a number of guest editors, has partnered with both Jacket Magazine and Verse Magazine, and has published poems, short stories, biography, literary criticism, cultural criticism, essays and reviews. The bi-annual issues have been thematic but have rarely included editorials.

This publication has no connection, nor intends to bear resemblance, to the Australian Army education Service magazine SALT (September 1941–April 1946).
