Hi there, I'm Lilian!

My name is Lilian Martin and I am a writer and zine-maker based in Meanjin.

​My work tends to explore intersectional identities and themes through a humorous lens, and has appeared in #EnbyLife Journal, Scenstr, and in the 2024 short story anthology Is This Working? from Tiny Owl Publishing.  

I am currently Head of Production at Jacaranda Journal, and am also pursuing a Masters in Writing, Editing, and Publishing at the University of Queensland.

Acknowledgement of Country

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which I work, the Turrbal and Yuggera people. I pay respects to the traditional custodians and recognise Elders past, present and emerging. These lands have always been places of storytelling, language, and community. These lands were stolen; sovereignty was never ceded.
