Framework provides students at all points of their journey the opportunity to publish their work in any form it may take. Experimental, controversial, or somewhere in the middle is all welcome here! Submissions are selected at the discretion of the Writer's Coordinator and then published for your viewing pleasure. 

As Framework is a student publication, we encourage students with varying levels of experience to submit. Whether you’re a seasoned essayist or a first-time writer -- we would love to hear from you!  

A pitch is a way of summarising what you would like to submit to Framework. We are extremely flexible, so this can be anything from the seed of an idea to a fully realised work. Your pitch doesn’t have to be overly formal, as we are interested in engaging with your vision at whatever stage it is at. Pitches may look like:

• Your concept, idea, argument  

• The form, structure or angle  

• Excerpts or drafts; which are always great (but not compulsory), as they give us more insight into your thinking  

Once we’ve received your pitch we’ll give some advice and direction on approaching the piece. We may also share some helpful resources or readings that might be relevant or interest you! 

For any queries, please contact the Framework Coordinator for 2025, Yazmeen Meedin via email framework@arc.unsw.edu.au - or stopping by the Arc Office to have a chat!

Yaz is also available via Zoom appointment, just send her an email to organise a time.

Slowness: We prioritise nourishing long-term relationships with our contributors. We care about helping you develop a writing practice that brings you joy and that you feel confident in.

Experimentation: We will encourage you to be playful and expansive in how you write and create. Art school is the time to push the boundaries of your work and be surprised by what you make.

Bravery: We will cheer you on to be courageous in your practice; to follow hunches, to unravel uncomfortable truths, to find liberation in your authorial voice!
