Publishing with Piper Press

Piper Press is an independent arts publisher with over 35 years’ experience. We specialise selected titles on Australian art, architecture and design. 

Our publishing program is small and highly selective. We develop books both independently and in collaboration with artists, authors, estates, cultural institutions and other partners, with a focus on distinctive subjects, strong visual content and lasting cultural value.

Our publishing projects take different forms depending on their scope, audience and funding structure. 

Submissions and project enquiries

We welcome enquiries from those with well-developed publishing projects that closely align with our editorial remit, particularly those involving established artists, significant collections, architectural histories and cultural research.

Due to existing commitments, we are unable to consider unsolicited manuscripts or general book proposals outside these areas.

For relevant project enquiries, please provide a brief outline of the proposed publication, its intended audience, the people or organisations involved, funding sources, and its anticipated timeframe.

We review enquiries selectively and will be in touch if your project is suitable. Due to the volume of enquiries over the recent past, we require time to reply but we may not be able to guarantee a response. If you wish to send a completed manuscript, please allow at least four weeks before following up.
