The first edition of the print journal will release in 2026.

Until then, we encourage you to read works from Varnish Online.

Start simple with Alex Jovanović’s rhythmic Order, get lost in the flickering mirages of Jake Wighton’s electric blue, bathroom mirror and simmer away in Remi Shapiro-James’s Just Like Honey.

Also now available: Jacqui Stephens’s liminal elegy of time and movement, Post Meridiem, and Billy McKay’s ride through the chaos of the night, Small Wing.
