'In a digital world increasingly dominated by ephemeral media, independent
publishing in Australia is experiencing a renaissance marked by creativity,
collaboration and diverse narratives.
Spurred on by National Reading Survey results, showing 42 per cent of
Australians are "occasional" readers and read a book every 15 weeks at most,
the Melbourne Art Book Fair (MABF) — part of this year's Design Week 2025 — is
out to cultivate a vibrant reading culture.
The Stallholder Fair, from May 16–18, showcases more than 100 leading
publishers and artists from the Asia-Pacific region, with limited-edition
books, prints and magazines.
And the flourishing indie publishing scene is right at the forefront.'
Cheers,
