WYRD community
We’re stronger together
WYRD Press is independent and artist-run — which means we exist because a community of artists decided to build something, not because a company decided poetry could turn a profit. We’re incorporating as a company limited by guarantee in December 2026, ahead of our launch in June 2027. This page is where we’ll point you toward the other presses, bookshops, and arts spaces we rate, trust, and want you to know about.
Word Travels
The team behind the Australian Poetry Slam and Story Week, running events, publishing, and a bookshop all in one.
Coming soon
An aligned press or publisher will go here.
Coming soon
A bookshop that stocks WYRD titles will go here.
Tasmanian Poetry Festival
An annual festival celebrating poetry across Tasmania. Our founder is a featured touring poet at the 2026 festival.
Know someone who belongs here?
If you run a small press, bookshop, or arts space that shares what we’re trying to do — or if you want to swap links — get in touch. We’d rather build a scene than compete with one.
