Welcome to Boilerplate Mag

Eminently readable, eminently shareable.

Boilerplate Mag is a new literary journal, founded in Melbourne Australia, on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong/Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin.

We are looking for creative stories, creative non-fiction essays and poetry.

Stop scrolling, start reading.

• Someone who wants to read something, share it, and talk about it with a friend.

• Someone who wants to see themselves and their own experiences represented on the page.

• Someone who wants to learn something about the world.

• Someone who wants to feel confused, exhilarated, challenged, worried, joyous, optimistic, angry, and the whole gamut of human emotion.
