In the beginning . . .

Firetail Press is in its very early stages of development. We’re based in rural New South Wales, Australia. We’ve established this press to independently publish some quality fiction and some other non-fiction works.

We’re not planning to become a major publishing business, so at this stage we’re not inviting submissions from other authors.

Our business is named after the little Firetail Finches that we love watching around our place. They’re tiny, they fly around in small flocks, and they chirp and chatter and delight us. They flit around very quickly, though, and are hard to photograph – but here’s one on our birdbath, photographed through the window:

Firetail Finch on the birdbath

We’re not planning on being a big business, or having a major impact on the publishing scene, but just like the Firetail Finches, we hope our books will delight you.

We’ll update the website when there’s more to announce.
