The Lifted Brow
The Lifted Brow refers to an Australian not-for-profit literary organisation (also known as the TLB Society Inc.) and the quarterly print literary magazine/journal it publishes. Founded in Brisbane, its headquarters was later established in Melbourne.
History[edit]
TLB was established in 2007 by Ronnie Scott, and then run from 2012 to 2020 by Sam Cooney. It is currently on an extended hiatus. It is a not-for-profit literary organisation which also runs the book publishing imprint Brow Books. It has been funded in part by Creative Victoria and the Australia Council, as well as other funding bodies. The organisation is run by volunteers.[1]
In April 2020 The Lifted Brow announced a pause in operations following an investigation by the board into allegations of sexual misconduct and unprofessional conduct by TLB workers.[2] Following this investigation, many of the staff resigned, as did the entire governing board. A new board was installed in mid-2020 but no activity has occurred since.[3]
