Publishing submissions

Hobartisan Books is a micropublisher that publishes innovative, beautiful books, celebrating the authors, artists, artisans, crafts, passions and stories of Lutruwita/Tasmania.

We curate a tight list of books and only consider book concepts with a strong content link to Lutruwita/Tasmania, and that are created by local authors, artists and organisations.

To submit your publishing concept for consideration, please fill out this form. We do not require a manuscript at this stage. Instead, we ask for a 150-word book synopsis that sets out the genre, audience, conceit and content description, its Tassie focus, the authors/contributors involved, and what stage you are at with your work.

If we think your synopsis sounds like a good fit for Hobartisan Books, we will contact you for more information.

Please note

We do not accept submissions for novellas or long-form fiction. We will only consider the following:

·      Nonfiction (all topics) for general or specialist audience in all formats, including narrative nonfiction and illustrated books

·      All genre for children, including picture books, except long-form fiction

·      Poetry and artist books
