I was fortunate enough to copyedit @shirleyonmarrs kid's book 'Little Jiang' during my internship at @fremantlepress - and it's finally out now!! I absolutely loved it, and I couldn't resist drawing the Peony Princess 💘🌸🌺✨ She's got her heart in the right place (pun intended) but she's terrible at guitar playing 😂😂 Would recommend if you have kids! #newrelease #fremantlepress #readersofinstagram #kidsbooks #bookstagram #yass #cute #characterdesign #drawing #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CF81ShTp2PC/?igshid=r770lhz0u86p

Fremantle Corona Diaries. Jane Fraser, CEO, Fremantle Press. Publishing happens behind the scenes. But it is affected by what happens at the shopfront. Like so many items, book sales have dropped. There’s online shopping and e-books but it doesn’t make up for foot traffic—browsing—which makes up a huge percentage of sales. It’s been a stressful time for Jane, working through the finances of the not-for-profit publishing house. The concern is the unknown. “We don’t know just how far our sales income will drop. But we will get through… We’ve been doing a lot of online marketing to promote all our new books. It’s great that booksellers are now open and seeing our reps and getting a taste for the books that will be coming out around October. Fingers crossed that when everything gets back to some kind of normal, people will be buying books for Christmas.” In the early days of the pandemic, Jane set about ensuring staff had the ability to work from home. As it turned out, only a couple of people worked from home. With a staff of only 10 and most of them part-time, @fremantlepress has the space for staff to distance themselves from each other. Government subsidies helped keep everyone employed. Jane says it’s been really nice to be able to come in to work and see people. Some internal meetings and all external meetings have been done via Zoom. Aside from no contact, it’s also been a time saver. “The benefit of this is not travelling into the city for arts sector meetings. It’s been fantastic. Probably more people have actually attended the meetings. It may be a thing of the future. I hope so.” The ‘No visitors’ sign on the front door of Fremantle Press is now down. “It felt really good to pull that down and scrunch it up... What we need now is support for the whole arts sector, which is really doing it tough.” @visitfremantle @jane_fraser #georginabarkerphotography #fremantlepress #publishing #books #fremantle #arts #fremantlestory #thisisfremantle #infreo #lovefreo #freolife #perthlife #supportlocal #visitwesternaustralia #perthwillbeok #coronadiaries #fremantlecoronadiaries #covid19 (at Fremantle, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAejeNfjyIO/?igshid=1ttaxwb779vb8

I picked up Invisible Boys by Holden Sheppard while I was at @dymocksadelaide last night! I’m so excited for this one, it’s an ownvoices queer LoveOzYA 🌈🌈 ◇ Blurb: In a small town, everyone thinks they know you: Charlie is a hardcore rocker, who’s not as tough as he looks. Hammer is a footy jock with big AFL dreams, and an even bigger ego. Zeke is a shy over-achiever, never macho enough for his family. But all three boys hide who they really are. When the truth is revealed, will it set them free or blow them apart?

Invisible Boys is a raw, confronting YA novel, tackling homosexuality, masculinity, anger and suicide with a nuanced and unique perspective. Set in regional Western Australia, the novel follows three sixteen-year-old boys in the throes of coming to terms with their homosexuality in a town where it is invisible – and so are they. Invisible Boys depicts the complexities and trauma of rural gay identity with painful honesty, devastating consequence and, ultimately, hope . . . #invisibleboys #holdensheppard #fremantlepress #loveozya #queerloveozya #ownvoicesbooks #dymocksadelaide #dymocksbooks #bookstagram #bookworm #aussiebookworm #ausyabloggers #ausbookishfeatures #book #bibliophile #aussieauthors #prettybooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B3X_NELgBwT/?igshid=12chdzoon4ogk

Book Review: “The Edward Street Baby Farm” by Stella Budrikis (@FremantlePress)

True crime books report on crimes from the beginning of their investigation to their legal proceedings. These books not only restore the lived experiences of the perpetrators and their victims, but also reconstruct the complex circumstances in which the crimes were committed. These books help us see the parties involved as genuine people. Instead of mere statistics and sensationalised media…
