we are a student-led, peer-edited literary journal based in Meanjin.

we publish poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction — writing that is thoughtful, deliberate, and quietly distinctive.

we're interested in what happens after a piece is written: how it's read, how it's shaped, and how it stays.

through peer-editing, we aim to create a space defined by care, clarity, and respect for the author's voice.

every semester,
hundreds of incredible pieces of
writing are read once,
graded,
forgotten.

afterword exists to change that.

we want student writing to live beyond the classroom.
