Scribe Publications
Scribe has been operating as a wholly independent trade-publishing house for more than 40 years. What started in 1976 as a one-man band — with publisher Henry Rosenbloom’s desire to publish ‘serious non-fiction’ — has turned into a multi-award-winning company with more than 25 staff members in two locations — Melbourne, Australia and London, England — as well as a scout in New York, and a dedicated publicity and marketing team on the ground in the US. We love what we do, and we hope you will, too.

Hawkeye Publishing Pty Ltd
Hawkeye Press Hawkeye Publishing is an independent trade publishing house bringing award-winning fiction into the spotlight of Australian literature. Hawkeye Press is the business books imprint of Hawkeye Publishing, supporting business professionals, entrepreneurs and thought leaders to elevate their profiles and bolster their business success through the publishing of high-quality, thought-provoking business and personal development books. Why Publish a Business Book? Publishing a book that brings a fresh perspective to your business sector is one of the most effective marketing tools today. Not only does it appeal to your target client, and generate meaningful business leads and industry connections, it opens a pathway to positioning yourself as a desirable candidate for lucrative public speaking engagements. Penning and publishing your own business book elevates you swiftly to a position of authority, develops your credibility and firmly establishes you as an expert in your field. Perhaps even more meaningful is the ability it affords to share your message with a wide and engaged audience while ensuring you leave an enduring legacy. The Hawkeye Press Difference With publishing industry veteran Carolyn Martinez at the helm, Hawkeye Press enables business book authors to draw on the expertise and infrastructure of an established and well-respected Australian publishing house. Unlike other business book publishers, who provide an abridged service which burdens business authors with an excess of responsibilities outside their expertise, Hawkeye Press handles the process holistically.

Publishing Services
Publishing Services was founded in March 2019. If you used our services back then, you might remember us as a one-woman copywriting service called Best Selling Book Descriptions, but like all great ideas, we grew! In 2020, Sarah Eberstadt took over the company, leading a rebranding to become Publishing Life Services. With the new direction, our team expanded, and our service offerings grew. By 2022, we were ready for another transformation into the Publishing Services you see today. The vision for Publishing Services was born out of the growing need for a one-stop solution that could offer high-quality support to self-publishers. As the self-publishing industry expanded, it became clear that authors needed more than just great writing; they needed a comprehensive service to handle everything from book descriptions to editing, formatting, and cover design. With this in mind, Publishing Services was built to provide self-publishers with all the tools they need to create high-quality, successful books—all in one place. As positive reviews rolled in and demand surged, Publishing Services expanded to meet the growing needs of self-publishers. Our team quickly grew to include a talented group of writers, editors, formatters, and designers, all dedicated to delivering high-quality services. At the heart of this expansion is our formidable all-female management team, who lead with vision and expertise, ensuring that every project is handled with precision and care. With Sarah at the helm, the Publishing Services management team leads a company that customers come back to time and time again.

Hyphen
We’ve been telling amazing stories for twenty years, first under the name Bounce Books, and now as Hyphen. Stories, well told. A few years ago, after more than a decade of publishing the histories of some pretty remarkable organisations, we realised that by the time we’d researched and written their book, we knew them inside out. We already knew which were the best images and where to find more stories. Because let’s face it: there are always more stories. All the elements with which we'd forged our reputation remained: understanding client needs, personable interviews, thorough research, engaging writing, careful editing and proofing, beautiful photography and design, and of course, detailed project management. But now we apply them to film, installations and digital platforms too. You’ll still see the Bounce Books logo on the spine of all our books because after all, a company that cares so much about history can’t lose its own. These days, no matter the best way to connect your community, we’ll help you do it. Well-told stories stand the test of time.

Ultimo Press
Ultimo Press is an independent publisher established in 2020 with the simple ambition to become home to Australia’s best storytellers. We are part of Hardie Grant Publishing. Distinctive and discerning, we value quality above all else, and aspire to be known for our creativity and our commitment to our authors. We want to excite readers of general and literary fiction (especially the sweet spot in between), and discover non-fiction that inspires and ignites. Our hallmarks will be editorial excellence, arresting design, dynamic marketing and publicity, respect and loyalty to our authors, and publishing compelling new voices and original perspectives that reflect the full spectrum of Australian life. Our ambition is serious, but with a brief to be vibrant and compelling; we want to be distinctive, a little bit different, to disrupt and to have fun. Named for the Sydney suburb that houses Hardie Grant’s Sydney office, Ultimo references our home – an historic and colourful part of Sydney. The Italian translates roughly to ‘the latest’, and that will be our ambition: to provide a platform for the latest trends and newest voices.
