Sleepers Publishing Information

Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Sleepers was founded by Zoe Dattner and Louise Swinn in July 2003. Zoe and Louise are aided and abetted by a team of interns and work experiencers, too many and too valuable to mention, as well as a veritable smorgasbord of mentors and friends, not to mention our long-suffering families. We aim to build a broad desire for and recognition of good writing by publishing and promoting new and emerging authors. The annual Sleepers Almanac has met with wide acclaim. We're also publishing novels, a collection of short stories, and we have published a book of illustrations, not to mention a book about toast! Sleepers is proud to be a member of SPN: the Small Press Network. SPN was formed in 2006 by some of Australia's most committed independent publishing houses. To find out more about SPN, click here.
