The first issue of Industrial Estate has it all: fiction by Emma Rayward that shakes down the structural nature of manufactured housing scarcity; a long essay by Jonno Revanche exploring the utility/futility of fantasy/phantasy in collectivising around a revolutionary goal; eviscerating poetry by Lucy Norton, Natalia Figueroa Barroso, j. taylor bell, Justine Keating, Spencer Barberis, and David Stavanger; bottle-o retail gothic in hilarious fiction by Liam Diviney; rumination on 'drafts of drafts' in nonfiction by Jennifer Nguyen. And we promise that after reading Hollen Singleton's essay you will never perceive moss the same way again.
Industrial Estate is a literary magazine showcasing writing from the working class.
Industrial Estate seeks to enhance working-class participation in the literary arts by providing publication opportunities to working-class writers and writers from a working-class background.
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.
