Welcome to SPUNC, home of Australia's small press
and independent publishing community.

What is SPUNC?

Spunclogorevised72 The Small Press Underground Networking Community (SPUNC) is a representative body for small and independent Australian publishers. It was formed in 2006 to promote independent publishing and support the principle of diversity within the publishing industry as a vital component of Australian literary culture.

SPUNC is a not-for-profit incorporation based in Melbourne; its activities are overseen by a board of directors. Since February 2009 Zoe Dattner has been General Manager thanks to funding support from CAL and the Australia Council.

SPUNC is committed to working to ensure the continued viability of the independent publishing sector in Australia by facilitating collaborative initiatives, networking opportunities, and general communication between small and independent publishers.
