Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Magabala Books is Australia’s leading Indigenous publishing house. Aboriginal owned and led, we celebrate and nurture the talent and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices through the publication of quality literature. Magabala publishes 15 - 20 new titles annually across a range of genres: children’s picture books, memoir, fiction (junior, YA and adult), non-fiction, graphic novels, social history and poetry. We also keep a substantial backlist in print and our earliest titles stand strong alongside new releases in the trade and are of significant cultural importance. Our award-winning titles are recognised for their literary merit, cultural significance and contribution to the canon of Australian literature. Magabala’s commitment to developing new and emerging Indigenous writers, illustrators and one-time storytellers, sets us apart from other publishers. Our program of professional development is unparalleled in the industry. In 2020 Magabala Books was awarded the Australian Book Industry Awards 'Small Publisher of the Year'.
