Seeking Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers

CSIRO’s Double Helix magazine is actively seeking Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers to contribute to our publication. We cover science, technology, engineering and maths. Our articles are written for students aged 8 to 14 years old, reaching an audience across Australia.

Each issue of the magazine includes a minimum of 2 pages showcasing Indigenous science, noting we seek to include more where possible. We’re looking for Indigenous writers for snippets and/or features sections of our magazine, including but not limited to Indigenous science.

Freelance writers are paid on a per-word basis for articles that appear in Double Helix. Or, if you’re a school-aged student, get in touch to discuss mentorship opportunities.

To express your interest and pitch your story ideas, contact the Editor:
