Joan Press was founded in 2020, with the ambition of supporting and amplifying new and different types of storytelling. Curated by writer, actor and director Nakkiah Lui, a Gamilaroi and Torres Strait Islander woman, Joan publishes books across all genres and forms. Each Joan title creates space for voices that get pushed to the fringes; voices that challenge and interrogate the world around them. Named after Lui’s grandmother, Joan Press recognises that storytelling is both the legacy and the future of any community, and aims to be a home for stories and storytellers who are redefining the mainstream in a way that is radical, inclusive and bold.
