Publishing support for authors in Australia

Potter Publishers works with independent authors across Australia, from a first draft to a published book in readers' hands. Our writers, editors, designers and publishing specialists work together, so every stage connects and your book is prepared for the readers and retailers in your market.

Whether you need writing, editing, design and production, publishing, marketing or an audiobook, you receive a written plan and quote before any work begins, and your rights and royalties stay with you.

Spelling and style

We edit and proofread in Australian English by default for Australian authors (colour, organise, travelled), and can switch to US or UK spelling if your book targets those readers.

ISBNs

In Australia, ISBNs are issued by Thorpe-Bowker. We help you buy and register them in your own name or your imprint's, so you are the publisher of record.

Legal deposit

Australian legal deposit generally requires published books to be deposited with the National Library of Australia and the relevant state library. We include this in your publishing checklist.
