Since we began in 1976, Scribe has been proudly independent. Our editorial-led approach to publishing means we have a reputation for championing original ideas, powerful writing, and bold points of view, and we’ve often taken on books that other publishers have shied away from: the difficult, the unconventional, the necessary. With offices in Australia, the UK, and the US, our outlook and reach are global and have enabled us to carve out an utterly unique place in the publishing landscape: one of the only true independents in Australia, whose output encompasses the finest of local and international writing. We have a celebrated history of developing new authors, and books we’ve published have received or been finalists for every major literary prize in Australia, alongside numerous international prizes including the International Booker Prize, the National Book Award for Translated Literature, PEN Translation Prize, and more. Our editors in Melbourne and London spend each day finding stories and writers that matter — sifting through submissions and manuscripts from around the world in an uncompromising pursuit of the best books we can find, develop, and deliver to readers. We love what we do, and we hope you will, too.
