About Affirm Press
Affirm Press is a Melbourne-based publishing company committed to publishing books that have a positive impact on the community and that influence by delight rather than being earnest or ‘right-on'.
When it comes to fiction, we want to publish new and under-published authors - in any genre - and distinguish ourselves through our editorial commitment. We're interested in building relationships, not one-offs. We'll stretch friendships to get the best results, but never break them.
The publisher is Martin Hughes who used to ‘work' for Lonely Planet as a writer, editor and photographer. He's had various other jobs in media and publishing, including a three-year stint as the editor of The Big Issuemagazine. He started Affirm Press in 2007 along with his boss, mentor and friend Graeme Wise.
Rebecca Starford is the associate publisher at Affirm Press. She is a former deputy editor of Australian Book Review and reviews regularly forThe Age and The Weekend Australian. Rebecca is also the editor of independent literary journal Kill Your Darlings.
Affirm Press is distributed by Hardie Grant Books. For all bookshop enquiries, please contact:
