Welcome to the home of
BANDIT BOOKS & TASMAN RIDGE
From stories with bite, to distinct and unique Australian voices that are crying out to be heard. Bandit Books and Tasman Ridge are new and independent boutique Australian publishing imprints that aim to give a voice to the unheard and unloved. To those talented writers who struggle to get past the gatekeepers. We’re willing to take risks, because for us, it’s not all about the money. Although we’re not going to complain when we have a bestseller!
Please, look through our website and our upcoming book releases. Learn about us and what we do and spread the word. Hopefully you can get as excited as we are.
Upcoming Releases
When a tragedy halts their ancient migration, Emu Bob and his Band of Banished Brothers cross a burning Western Australia to outrun drought, predators, and a looming human cull. The Emus of Campion Valley is a fierce, funny, mythic survival tale told through the eyes of the emus themselves.
When two young orphans flee their group home and hit the road north to opal country in search of adventure and a better life, they have no idea of the troubles that are about to befall them. With no one to rely on except each other, they develop a bond that will never be broken. A heartbreaking tale of survival and coming of age in a brutal existence.
Thrown into a river as a newborn, Bandit survives against all odds to become the beloved fur child of a couple who never thought they’d have a family. But when Cameron is sent to prison, Bandit escapes and waits at the gates for months, becoming a local legend. Scent is a powerful tale of loyalty, resilience, and the unbreakable bond that leads us home.
Submissions
We love reading new and exciting stories. But right now, we’re closed for submissions while we focus on printing our first releases. Then we’ll post details on this page of how you can submit your manuscript to us.
We do not publish Poetry, Fantasy, Children’s or LGBT. Anything else we’re happy to look at if it’s well written and presented.
