Anthologies

[close] According to the Library of Congress, “Literature” should be put under the 800s in the Dewey Decimal System. We think what’s considered literature should be constantly examined. So we started a monthly book club of personal literature. Hence the name: 800s Plus.

[close] The first edition of the Verandah Literary Journal was launched in 1986, beneath the shade of the ‘wide verandahs’ of Victoria College. Established as a student-run publication, from its inception Verandah has attracted high quality work from both established and emerging writers and artists for annual publication. Each year, a new publication team is selected from students studying the Professional and Creative Writing and Visual Communication degrees, and their vision and philosophies are reflected in the journal. It has remained a constant commitment over the years for Verandah to produce an art and literary journal of the highest quality and one which serves as a platform of development for both budding writers and artists. Verandah aims to maintain a balance between the publication of students’ and non-students’ work. Deakin University students are entered for free, but if you are not a Deakin student entry fees apply. Opportunity to win prizes are available in all categories. Full guidelines can be found on the submissions page of our website verandahjournal.wordpress.com The first edition of Verandah was launched on Friday 28 November 1986 by the Dean of Arts, Dr June Hearn, in the great hall of Stonnington. The founding editors were Anne Casey, Katie Cody, Genevieve Fitzgerald and Dianne Perrin Knie.
