GDS (17? or 18? I can't recall) came out late last year, submissions closed in May for the next issue. Not a bad production, the CD particularly, good sound quality, mostly recorded in ABC studios, plenty of names you'd recognise.
Though it didn't start out as a "simple magazine" twenty years ago because from the beginning it publishing and interviewing writers who've become household - interviews with Anna Couani and Ania Walwicz (Issue 5), Bruce Pascoe and Bill Turner (issue 8- Turner discussing another magazine of the period, Inprint) - contributions from Gig Ryan, Eric Beach, Kris Hemensley, Marion Halligan, Walter Adamson, Billy Marshall-Stoneking, Geoff Goodfellow, Jennifer Dabbs, Gillian Mears, Kristin Henry to name a few. Venerable's a good term.
Best,
Ralph
