Editing and publishing the gap : attempting to catch what otherwise might fall through

This paper is an act of history making rather than a theoretical engagement. The paper is co-authored by a number of Australian-based editors of peer-refereed journals who explore the leap that is ‘editing and publishing the gap’. It charts the establishment and development of a series of journals, as well as how, as editors, these individuals engage with the academic writing community in terms of genre, writing forms (including minority and experimental forms) and create a space for non-traditional and non-normative writers, researchers and scholars.
