About Us
WARRANT was born inside a sixth-floor dorm room in the autumn of 2018.
We’ve come a long way since then — publishing two physical zines, redesigning the website countless times and grappling with our relationship to social media. Constantly redefining ourselves and our connection to the world.
“There is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
There is a sense of freedom we are chasing with this publication. The freedom of late night calls with friends or a roaring mosh-pit or one-way plane tickets. That’s what it all comes down to really. Our collective compulsion to live freely.

What exactly is WARRANT?
WARRANT is a platform for those who live intensely, and crave new experiences.
We have no barriers, we don’t chase profit. Our mission is simple - provide a platform for all types of artists, and do this as ethically/sustainably as possible.
The website is updated all year around, with exciting new work going up each month!
Our printed zine is an annual affair - details are released towards the end of each year. Huge shoutout to our printing parters at Black Rainbow, the most environmentally conscious press in the game.
Where can I find WARRANT on social media?
Find us on Facebook or Instagram via @warrantmagazine - we aren’t super active & try to keep things as real/genuine/value-based as possible. In fact, we have some boundaries for you & ourselves - suss them here.
We want this WARRANT community to engage with our content in ways that are slow and deliberate, rather than just double-tap-double-tap. Our e-newsletters are a perfect example of this - boot up your PC & take the time to really immerse yourself in the month’s articles.
Can I submit?
Feel free to submit anything/everything! Think bedroom poetry, photographs of you and your friends, stories of travel both overseas and domestic.
Just send an email through to warrantsubmissions@gmail.com with your work, a title and some text. Include your Instagram handle and/or other links if you wish.

Are there ever any ads?
Our printed zines are entirely ad-free — yep, you read that right. Our priority is to provide you with conscious, high-value content for many years to come. However, we do have one section on the website where all of our partner businesses can be explored. We decided to keep this entirely seperate from our article content so that you can engage if/when you choose.
How environmentally conscious is the printing?
As much as we can make it! Any physically printed products are produced by our friends at Black Rainbow in Victoria (#supportyourlocals) - think 100% recycled paper, solar-powered machinery and non-toxic inks. We also choose to send our products out to you in compostable mailer bags, rather than those cheap & nasty plastic alternatives.
