Who we are

A small house, built for careful work

Southern Cross Publishing House was founded on a simple belief: publishing should feel like a craft, not a conveyor belt. Every manuscript gets a dedicated editor, a considered cover, and a print run that meets the standard we'd want for our own work.

We work with first-time authors and seasoned ones alike, and we stay involved from the first read-through to the day your book lands on a shelf or a screen.

Based in Australia, built for authors anywhere.

Founding editors, one shared standard

"We'd rather publish twenty books properly than two hundred quickly."
