In 1982, dissatisfied with the rates of pay and the small audience offered by literary magazines, Bruce Pascoe attempted to find support for a new magazine that would feature short fiction. Unable to secure support, Pascoe used the money from his share of the sale of a house to finance a print run of 20,000 copies of Australian Short Stories for Christmas 1982. Launched by Bob Hawke, the first issue sold 12,000 copies, a significant amount for a literary magazine. From that time, Australian Short Stories sold, on average, 6,000 copies per issue. The magazine was described as presenting 'the best of the established Australian writers and illustrators together with the new literary and art talent in the country' (Editorial no. 1, 1982) ISSN 0810-4468. 96 pages.
