A small house
that shows
its work.
Anema House is an independent publishing house in Perth, Western Australia. We publish a few series at a time, care more about whether a book endures than how quickly it sells, and put our process in public where you can judge it.
Nobody above us decides our list
No committee in another city, no acquisitions meeting that never read the book. Small enough that the person who reads your manuscript is the person who answers for it.
A book is a cultural object, not a product
Designed, typeset and made to last. Digital and print editions treated as things worth keeping — because a book that survives twenty years outsells one that peaks in a fortnight.
We do the whole thing in-house
Editing, design, typesetting, print preparation, digital editions and audiobook production. One house, one standard, from manuscript to shelf.
You can see how the book is made
The six stages are published, the standards are published, and the packs are priced up front. You should never have to guess what a publisher is doing with your book.
Nathaniel A Jones
The house was built around one writer's worlds — biblical historical, dystopian science fiction, and modern thrillers. Read the story behind them.
Talk to the house.
Enquiries from writers, booksellers, libraries and rights holders all come to the same place, and get read by a person.
