Southern Cross Publishing

A Publishing House Built Around Your Story

Southern Cross Publishing is an Australian self publishing company with over 1,000 authors published across fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, biographies, self help, children's books, and audiobooks. We treat every single manuscript we receive as if it were the only one on our desk, because to the person who wrote it, it is. We're not a factory. We're a team of professional editors, writers, designers, marketers, and publishers who genuinely love books and who take real pride in helping people share their stories with the world.

Our Story

Southern Cross Publishing was born from a simple but deeply held belief: every person with a story worth telling deserves access to professional publishing.

We're proudly Australian. We understand the Australian reader, the Australian market, and what it takes to make a book succeed locally and globally. But we've always had our eyes on the wider world, because great stories don't stop at borders. Our work spans ghostwriting, professional book editing, cover design, ISBN registration, Amazon A+ content optimisation, global distribution across 40+ platforms, and full audiobook production.

What We Stand For The Values Behind Everything We Do

Partnership Over Transaction

We're not a printing press you mail manuscripts to. We're partners. We get involved, care about the outcome, and with you through every stage of the publishing journey, not just the parts that are easy.

Uncompromising Quality

Every book we publish goes through the same rigorous process, whether it's someone's first novel or their fifth. Quality isn't something we offer at a premium; it's the baseline we work from, always.

Complete Transparency

No confusing contracts, hidden fees nor any surprises. You'll always know exactly what's included in your package, exactly where your book is in the process, and exactly what to expect at every step.

Every Story Matters

We don't rank manuscripts by commercial potential or prestige. A personal memoir matters as much as a business book. A children's story matters as much as literary fiction. If it's your story, it matters to us.

Global Vision, Local Heart

We're Australian to our core, but we've always believed Australian stories deserve a global stage. We build that stage, one book at a time, with distribution that reaches readers on every continent. From Sydney to Melbourne, Perth to Brisbane, and readers across the UK, US, and beyond, we distribute your book everywhere it needs to be.

Author Comes First

Your name is on the cover. Your ideas bring the process. Your approval matters at every stage. We work for you, not the other way around. The book is always yours, in every sense of the word.

Your book is closer than you think. Let's talk about it.

Start with a simple conversation

You don't need a finished manuscript, a polished pitch, or any publishing experience to reach out to us. All you need is the story you've been sitting on and the decision to finally do something about it. We've heard every kind of idea, rough, half-formed, fully written, completely stuck, and we know exactly how to move it forward.

Drop us a message, and one of our publishing specialists will get back to you personally, no automated replies, no sales scripts. Just a real conversation about your book, your timeline, and what working together would actually look like.
