Blackwing Press, established in 2016 in Sydney, Australia, began as the imprint of a small author cooperative offering quality writing informed by provocative perspectives, publishing narrative non-fiction, memoir, children’s fiction and short stories. Writers such as O J Modjeska who took part in the initial development of Blackwing have gone on to expand their presence with more international focus and diverse genre reach.
In 2020 Blackwing Press refocussed its mission. From its current base in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney it is now an independent publisher of memoir, autobiography, auto-ethnography and narrative non-fiction. Blackwing Press also publishes a limited range of fiction including short stories, novelettes, and novels with a focus on family stories, transgenerational issues and intimate dynamics. In the field of film and media studies, Blackwing Press is developing a small list of quality academic works in easily affordable and accessible formats.
Blackwing aims at being literary and popular at the same time, using good writing to explore ordinary as well as extraordinary experiences in real, or possible, spaces and times.
Blackwing publications are available both locally and internationally on Amazon Kindle, other e-book platforms and in print (generally paperback) through Ingram Spark distribution partners. Books can be ordered from any good bookstore or online from distributors such as Book Depository, Alibris, Booktopia and others.
All authors have independent contractual arrangements with the distributors and manage their own royalties and tax payments.
We are not currently accepting new proposals, however we would like to hear from you if you have writing projects which align with our interests. Use the email or contact form.
Blackwing Press is a registered trading name and operates from Katoomba in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia.
