1 1 y separately published work icon Neos Young Writers Neil Whitfield (editor), Richard James Allen (editor), Glebe : Gleebooks , 1981-1985 Z817824 1981-1985 periodical (1 issues) Editor Neil Whitfield writes of the origins of Neos Young Writers: 'In September 1981 Rob Duffy (19), John Hawke (15), Michael Stevenson (16) and I (age indeterminate) started Neos Young Writers, a magazine for — you guessed it — young writers. Raina MacIntyre (17) provided some spectacular art-work based on Eliot's "Gerontion". In time other editors joined us: for issue 2 (February 1982) the team was the same. The magazine continued until 1985, published by Gleebooks. Later editors included Gavin Murrell, Richard Allen, Hung Nguyen, Matt Da Silva and Lyneve Rappell. We won a Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Award for service to young Australians, and a Literature Board Grant. We had the odd subscriber in England, Ireland, Italy and the USA! We even score a little entry in The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature (ed. 2)' (Source: Neo's Specials and Memory Hole).
