Day 6

Melbourne RiffRaff

We are a student collective dedicated not only to publishing the works of aspiring media writers, but with the hope that Riffraff can be a launching pad of experience. We understand that having your work read and enjoyed by others can be just that little kick you need. The Riffraff team endeavour to create an online network that celebrates creativity, inventiveness and just some good ol’ fashioned writing. Whilst we attempt to publish as many submissions as possible, it is not always practical to include every piece we receive. But this does not mean we don’t like your stuff! Check out our blog and Facebook page for some ideas on what we are currently looking for.
