▲===History and profile===
▲''The Lifted Brow'' was established in 2007 by Ronnie Scott and edited by him until 2012.
Loosely falling under the [[literary journal]] category, the magazine features longform non-fiction and fiction, flash fiction, commentary, criticism, poetry, as well as artwork, drawings, comics, and music. Early versions of the publication were a perfect-bound journal format, and then in its middle years it embraced the tabloid newsprint format, before in 2015 evolving to the high-quality matte magazine format that is currently published four times annually. For a few years editions of ''The Lifted Brow'' included an arts and cultural lift-out called 'Middlebrow', which featured film, book, and television reviews, and articles profiling new video games, theatre, and music. Some editions have been themed; themes have included "Food", "Sex", "Music", "Medicine", "Art", "Ego", "Perth", "David Foster Wallace", and "Capital". ''The Lifted Brow'' can be read digitally.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theliftedbrow.com/digital/|title=The Lifted Brow web version|last=|first=|date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=18 April 2016|work=The Lifted Brow}}</ref>
