Fair Play Publishing is an independent Australian publisher committed to intelligent, distinctive writing across sport, fiction, and books about life. Our first title was published in May 2018.
Fair Play Publishing is our principal imprint, dedicated to sports non-fiction, with a particular — though not exclusive - focus on football (soccer).
Popcorn Press publishes fiction, while Pepper Press is home to memoir, culture, and books about life, identity, and experience.
Across all our imprints, we publish work that is thoughtful, rigorous, and grounded in real lives and real worlds.
Fair Play Publishing is a member of the Australian Publishers Association, the Small Press Network, and Arts Hub.
