Text Publishing is a Melbourne-based publishing house specializing in the publishing of literary and commercial works, both fiction and non-fiction. Text has won the Australian Publishing Industry Association's 'Best Small Publisher' award three times, and won the 'Best Small Publisher' award from Leading Edge Books in 2018 and 2019.At Text Publishing, we strive to publish books that make a difference in people's lives. We believe that reading should be a wonderful experience, and that every book you read should change your life, even if just a little. We love the phrase "immersing yourself in a book" - and that's what we wish our readers.You can't swim in a newspaper, a magazine, or even a movie. But people immerse themselves in books every day – on the tram, on the beach, in bed. Reading is what keeps the imagination flexible and challenges preconceptions and prejudices. You read at your own pace, and the world you enter thanks to the writer is yours alone, even if the person next to you on the bus is reading the exact same book.We are committed to providing world-class services to writers who trust us and entrust us with their books. If we want to keep our promises to readers, it's our job to do everything we can to help our writers write their best books.We care deeply about the quality of our editorial work. Design and production are important to us because we want our books to be masterpieces. Because we want our beautiful books to be read on trains and beaches, in beds and planes, or under desks in schools and workplaces, we do our best to promote and market them.This includes selling copyrights on behalf of our writers to publishers around the world. In fact, we make more money for our writers by licensing international editions than we do by turning their books into bestsellers in Australia and New Zealand.
We publish a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books, international and local, for adults and young people. We have the ability to get attached to any book, and many of our authors have led us into wonderful worlds that we would not have discovered without them. Many of our books have won international awards.
