Our mission
Founded in 2016, Bowen Street Press is more than a publishing house—we’re a creative hub where innovation meets tradition. We produce books, magazines, and digital content that matter, working hand-in-hand with industry leaders, community organisations, and academic institutions to bring fresh voices and bold ideas to life.
Our mission is simple: create beautiful, high-quality print and digital publications that are forward-looking, expansive and push the boundaries of what publishing can be. Whether we're revitalising classic formats or experimenting with new approaches, every project reflects our belief that great publishing combines beautiful design, compelling content and meaningful impact.
Our titles
We publish a diverse range of work that spans literary journals, industry catalogues, art books, zines, anthologies and magazines. Our catalogue encompasses recurring publications and one-off projects, each crafted with care and attention to detail.
What distinguishes our list is a commitment to contemporary relevance and craftsmanship. We actively engage with local and international industry developments while celebrating traditional publishing values, creating works that model innovative creative approaches to contemporary storytelling and contribute to broader cultural dialogues.
Our partners
Partnership drives everything we do. We work with carefully selected collaborators who share our vision for innovative, impactful publishing—from cultural institutions and government organisations to community enterprises and local and international publishers.
Our collaborative approach extends across RMIT schools and disciplines, creating exciting opportunities for fresh perspectives and creative ingenuity. We're particularly passionate about working with organisations committed to amplifying new and underrepresented voices and perspectives.
