ABOUT INDUSTRIAL ESTATE AND SUBBED IN
Published by Subbed In, Industrial Estate is a literary magazine showcasing writing from the working class. Upper-class writers are overrepresented in ‘Australian’ publishing, both on the page and behind the scenes. Industrial Estate is an intervention. As it stands, there are very few arts organisations in so-called ‘Australia’ with a mandate to specifically account for the inclusion of working-class writers. Industrial Estate is edited by Dan Hogan and Victoria Manifold.
Subbed In kicked off in 2015 as a backyard reading series organised by a small group of working-class, queer and First Nations people. Since 2015, Subbed In has organised workshops, performance events, and published award-winning books. Subbed In seeks to embolden grassroots solidarity for marginalised voices and writers whose work is too often alienated by the literary establishment. Built on a DIY ethos, Subbed In is focused on publishing new work and finding new audiences.
