Unnatural Order.

The CSFG is proud of our track record in offering opportunities for Australian writers to have their stories read, and especially in taking a chance on never-before-published writers. Our instincts are excellent! Stories in our annual anthologies have appeared in Year’s Best compilations, won Aurealis and Ditmar Awards and launched careers.

We have worked hard to become a fixture on the Australian speculative fiction writing landscape. This has given us the opportunity to feature some of Australia’s best known authors of fantasy, science fiction and horror, such as Kaaron Warren, Tansy Rayner Roberts, Cat Sparks, Richard Harland, Alan Baxter, Lee Battersby, Maxine McArthur, Joanne Anderton and Jason Nahrung.

The CSFG is currently accepting submissions for its 2019 anthology, Unnatural Order. Previously published CSFG anthologies may be purchased directly from the CSFG shop.
