User:Hfkent/Kill Your Darlings (journal)

Kill Your Darlings is an Australian literary journal based in Melbourne. Founded in September 2009, the quarterly publication publishes "fresh clever writing that combines intellect with intrigue".

The title, Kill Your Darlings, comes from a quote often attributed to William Faulkner. As an aphorism both darkly witty and deadly serious, Kill Your Darlings encapsulates the journal’s vision for Australian writers: "Don’t be afraid to speak the truth, be tongue-in-cheek, or give a little lip when it’s deserved. But above all, do what you must to create literature that demands attention. Kill your darlings, if need be." .
