I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm sure doing a lot of it. Music, sound art, writing, podcasts, comedy, theatre and the occasional existential crisis, living and working on Bidjigal Land.

Going Down Swinging works across platforms to produce high quality publications and events that support writers and artists telling stories worth sharing. Going Down Swinging is one of Australia’s longest-running and most respected literary journals: publishing digital as well as print and audio anthologies since 1979 and producing special, sold-out live events. We believe in fostering a community of writers and artists dedicated to their craft and the ideas behind it. We encourage the creation of new work, and support this by placing great value on editorial feedback and development for those voices still emerging.

The most common number of editions for a new literary journal to survive is one. The next most common, two. To make three or four is a triumph. To survive 37 years of them is almost miraculous. Today, Going Down Swinging is a literary journal at the forefront of both digital and print culture, with the willingness to take to the stage wherever an audience can be found.
