Australian Wildlife is the official magazine of the Australian Wildlife Society. It has a proud record and history and is popular amongst our members. The magazine’s readership has spread across Australia (and internationally), carrying a strong message of environmental education, wildlife conservation issues, and preservation of native wildlife - flora and fauna.
We are open to the word limit; however, two pages is a respectable guideline. We welcome plenty of images that complement the article and engage our readers. You might also like to include a call to action and a website link.
Images: the resolution needs to be between 72ppi and 300ppi. For absolute best results, images between 150ppi and 300ppi are preferred.
Disclaimer: we advise submitting your article as soon as possible as we primarily work on a first-come, first-served basis, depending upon the urgency of the wildlife conservation issue. Due to being flexible around the page length and the number of images authors can contribute, reaching capacity is primarily determined by the article length, the number of images, and the layout requirements. Consequently, we may need to defer your article to the following edition. We will ensure that any timeframes are updated accordingly if this is required. We do not charge or compensate contributors for magazine content.
