About

Clouds of Magellan Press was established by Gordon Thompson in 2006 and is based in Melbourne. Clouds of Magellan has published monograph fiction, poetry and non-fiction by Australian writers, including many emerging authors.

Our non-fiction has explored areas of ‘spirituality from the margins’, LGBTIQ issues, autobiography and memoir.

From mid-2023 our focus will be on non-fiction.
