Moonrise is home to emerging and exciting literary voices from around the world. We are dedicated to providing a platform for new, unusual, and marginalised writers to share work that is inspiring, transformative, creative, and truth-seeking.

Moonrise operates primarily on unceded Gubbi Gubbi Country and our small in-house team reaches as far as India. We are currently accepting submissions of fiction and poetry that align with our main imprint, Revolutionaries’, ethos of love, nonviolence, and justice for all. Further, we are interested in any work that is high quality, genre-defying, boundary-pushing, rather quite strange, taboo, rich in mythology and folklore, or something out of this world.

Exemplar forthcoming titles are Jax Bulstrode’s Cul-de-sac Rabbits where they explore their gender identity, chronic ill-health, and life in Australia through poetry; Vicki Sweedman’s Dundalli, a historical fiction novel sharing the story of Aboriginal freedom fighter Dundalli in 1800s Brisbane, and; Clara Elena Garcia’s Seven Legendary Monsters, a retelling of Indigenous Paraguayan myth, narrated by the monsters and the women who birthed, faced, and ultimately kill them.
