Author stories
In their own words.
The Australis Press Publishing team have been encouraging and responsive to every change in the pictures. My first book is on Amazon and my second is already being illustrated.
Australis Press Publishing has been extremely supportive through the whole process, keeping me regularly updated at every stage. I couldn't be happier with the result.
Australis Press Publishing has been absolutely amazing throughout the publishing process. They were always available to answer my questions and guide me at every step.
Loved the response and the way the drawings evolved to match the text. Very professional, guiding gently to the finish. Already looking forward to the next one.
The cover speaks volumes and transcends language barriers — it's a powerful, universal message. I was impressed from the moment the team showed me their work.
From day one the company was very engaging. The process of publishing went smoothly and in a timely manner. A genuinely professional team from start to finish.
Working with Australis Press Publishing has been a game changer. Their team brought a level of professionalism and insight that elevated my book beyond what I expected.
I have started publishing my children's book with them. All illustrations and communication have been great so far and I look forward to the completed project. They truly care about making their clients happy.

Meet your publishing partner
For the story
only you can tell.
Australis Press Publishing helps independent authors move from an idea or manuscript towards a finished book. We bring writing, editorial, design and publishing support into a clear project plan, shaped around the work and the person behind it.
Whether this is your first book or your next, the starting point is the same: what do you want to create, and what help would make it possible?
- Respect the author.
- Explain the process.
- Care for the details.
A few things you may be wondering
Good questions.
Clear answers.
There’s a lot to think about when you’re making a book. Start here.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
You retain ownership of your original manuscript. Your proposal sets out rights to commissioned work and any third-party licences. Retailer fees and printing costs can still apply.
Can I start with just an idea?
Yes. Bring notes, an outline or an unfinished draft. We can discuss whether writing or editorial support is the right next step.
Which genres can you help with?
Fiction, memoir, non-fiction, business, poetry and children’s books. Share the genre and intended reader so we can assess fit.
How long does publishing take?
Timing depends on length, services, revisions and approvals. Your proposal includes project milestones before work starts.
Can you help with ISBNs and distribution?
Yes. Discuss ISBN arrangements and appropriate platforms as part of your plan. Availability does not guarantee bookshop stocking or sales.
Can I publish print and digital editions?
Both can be included. Formats and production costs are agreed in the proposal.
What will it cost?
Pricing depends on scope. The initial enquiry and proposal are free; publishing services are paid and itemised before you commit.
What happens after I enquire?
We review your details, follow up with questions where needed and discuss a suitable proposal. No payment is required to send the form.
