Wondercrab Books represents Australian & pacific-region authors whom we find truly inspiring, and help them to find success in a global market.

A perfect storm

Founded in 2020, Wondercrab Books is a small publisher based in Melbourne, Australia. We work with Australian and pacific-region talent, and are drawn to authors with bright new ideas to add to our wonderful roster.

Being small has its benefits, allowing us to take the time to nurture and help our authors on their journeys. To those hopeful of securing representation, our talent scouts can often be found at book fairs, writing events, and launches around the nation. Keep an eye out for the crab!

Book lovers, at heart

Our passion is for fiction in all its forms, with a focus on fabulous fantasy epics, adrenaline-filled adventures, and synapse-stimulating sci-fi. As with any good publisher, we are selective but fair in our processes.

Please note that as of October 2023, we have a pause on submissions. Please do not submit your material during this time.

Submissions will re-open in 2024, please keep an eye on this space, and thank you for your patience.
