Under the Gum Tree

Under the Gum Tree Quarterly print+digital literary magazine publishing creative nonfiction & visual art. We believe in the power of sharing a story without shame. Stop hiding.

Under the Gum Tree is a storytelling project, publishing creative nonfiction in the form of a micro-magazine. Too much of the human experience gets hidden behind constructed facades based on what we perceive the world expects from us. Live a story. Tell it without shame. And by without shame, we mean these authors own their story, even the ugly parts, and share it with pure, unadulterated, raw, candid vulnerability.
