About Pantera Press

Pantera Press is a small, independent Australian book publisher with some really big differences. We're thrilled about what we're doing. We hope you will get excited too.

Our core goal is to be “a great new home for Australia's next generation of best-loved authors”. So our passions are to publish books that readers will rave about by discovering & nurturing the talented new authors who create them... previously unpublished authors of well-written, riveting reads in quality popular fiction or non-fiction.

Also, there's our unique mix of business & philanthropic objectives: good books doing good things^™. As well as launching talented new authors, Pantera Press will use some of our profits & efforts to promote the joys of reading & quality writing, to foster debate of important ideas & issues, & to help close the literacy gap. Pantera Press’s readers will not only get great stories & insights, but they’ll feel good about it. Click here to find out more.

In 2011, we are supporting Sydney Writers' Festival workshop program,  Byron Bay Writers' Festival, and SheKilda the Australian Women Crime Writers' Convention.

In 2010, we announced a 3-year partnership with The Smith Family and Let’s Read, a literacy program for pre-school children & their families which The Smith Family is implementing around Australia, including Indigenous communities.  

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, we sponsored the prestigious Walkley Awards for excellence in newspaper feature writing.
