Award-winning Adelaide independent publisher
More about Ginninderra Press
Ginninderra Press recognises the fact that many people have good ideas for books but cannot get them published, either because of their inexperience in preparing manuscripts or because the potential sales are insufficient to interest a conventional publisher. Ginninderra Press offers expert editing and proofreading, as well as simple design and lay out services.
What makes Ginninderra Press really different, however, is its use of economical formats to publish books of specialist interest and to market them directly to small target readerships. After collaborating with writers in the creative development of their ideas, Ginninderra Press can design and lay out manuscripts, devise and implement appropriate direct marketing strategies and then print and bind copies to order.
For longer manuscripts, Ginninderra Press also offers a partnership publishing option, details of which are available on request.
Ginninderra Press also provides assistance for writers who plan to self-publish their work: we offer design, layout and editing services and can recommend and liaise with printers.
Ginninderra Press is owned by Stephen Matthews, a well known book reviewer with extensive experience in teaching, bookselling and editing. After graduating from Cambridge University, Stephen was a teacher in the UK and Australia for nearly twenty years. He then had a very successful bookselling career, for some years managing the ANU Co-op, one of Australia’s largest bookshops.
Described in The Australian Financial Review as ‘one of the most discerning and committed supporters of children’s literature in Australia’, Stephen contributed book reviews, author profiles and articles to The Canberra Times and Australian Book Review for many years and has written manuscript reports for several large publishers. He has been a judge for literary awards and competitions and for many years was involved with the organisation of the Word Festival Canberra.
In 2003, Stephen received a Centenary Medal for his ‘contribution to the writing community and ongoing support for local authors’. In October 1997, he won a Canberra Critics Circle Award for Literature for his ‘tireless contribution to the writing community’. Stephen compiled ‘How Did the Fire Know We Lived Here?’, a best-selling collection of stories about the January 2003 Canberra bushfires which raised over $73,000 for the Bushfire Recovery Appeal. He also edited Eye of the Soul, a collection of interviews with writers for children for young adults, published by Magpies.
