AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND PUBLISHERS
The AA Independent Press Guide started life as a
supplement to Acid Angel Magazine, back in 1998. Since then, it has grown and grown, and now over 2,000 print and
internet magazines and publishers are listed from all over the world. The one thing that hasn’t expanded is the
editorial team. That is, it is still a
one-man operation, and it is physically impossible for this one man to keep
tabs on everything in this guide.
Whilst I endeavour to keep The AA Independent Press Guide as accurate
and up-to-date as possible I just don’t have the time, energy or finance
necessary to constantly check and re-check each listing. Magazines and publishers come and go, just
like that. So, inevitably, some of the
magazines and publishers listed here will no longer be operational. There will also be omissions in this guide:
magazines and publishers that aren’t listed.
You can help out, by making me aware of any inaccuracies and omissions
in this guide. Just email me at dee@thunderburst.co.uk and let
me know what you know. Then I can let
everyone else know too!
The listings that are highlighted in yellow refer to magazines that will
accept electronic submissions, but be aware that there are usually stipulations
attached.
Please note - donations towards the upkeep and maintenance of this website are
welcomed. If you value the services offered
here please make a donation and help to
keep these resources available for everyone.
