Spineless Wonders

Spineless Wonders is a publishing company devoted to short, quality fiction produced by Australian writers. We’re interested in brief fiction in all its forms – short story, novella, sudden fiction and prose poetry. Our stories are ‘spineless’ because they’ll be delivered to readers via smart phones and laptops. Spineless Wonders stories are for any person, anywhere, who has a digital device and a little time on their hands. They are for people on the move – commuting to work or working out at the gym. They are for people at rest – whether lounging at home or spine-bashing on the beach or by the pool.

And for those who love to hold the book they are reading, there are hard copy publications too.(Yes, ones with spines).

And at Spineless Wonders, we are interested in all kinds of stories – contemporary realist, black comedy, steam punk, historical, literary, romance, psychological, mystery, crime, futurist, speculative and genres yet to be labelled. Go to our website
