Interactive Press is IP’s flagship literary imprint, specialising in high quality literary titles. It was launched in Brisbane in September 1997 with the publication of our first title, Hemingway in Spain.
We publish by conventional print, print on demand (POD) and various eBook formats to our global partners such as Amazon, Apple, Gazelle Books, Google, Barnes & Noble, Overdrive, Proquest and Wheelers. Which makes our titles accessible to audiences worldwide.
Interactive Press publishes an impressive list of award-winning poetry, novels and short fiction. We are highly selective about the titles we publish under our imprint, including adult non-fiction, trade fiction, and young adult titles under Glass House Books. For our children’s collection, we have the IP Kidz imprint.
We prioritize literary merit in our author selection for Interactive Press, but we also look for works with commercial potential. Make a case in your initial submission to us, telling us why you think there’s a market for your manuscript. Do your homework and show us that you understand the market and your manuscript’s place in it.
At IP, we commit to excellence by editing manuscripts to publishable standards that match or surpass those of “mainstream” publishers. IP titles have achieved recognition or won awards in prestigious competitions, including the Queensland Premier’s Award, the Western Australian Premier’s Award, the Newcastle Poetry Award, the Anne Elder Award, the Somerset National Poetry Prize, the Adelaide Festival Literary Awards, the Mary Gilmore Award and the Steele Rudd Award.
Please check out our guidelines for details on what we expect in a submission.
