Night Parrot Press is an independent publisher based in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia. Publishing works of non-traditional fiction and non-fiction, we offer a home to experimental forms and genres outside the mainstream.
Inspired by our namesake, the elusive Australian night parrot, we seek to uncover writing that exists on the periphery, in obscurity, and give it a platform for recognition with a broader audience.
Night Parrot Press acknowledges the Wadjuk Noongar people as the spiritual and cultural custodians of Boorloo and the boodja on which we publish. We honour and respect First Nations stories and express our gratitude for this heritage of powerful storytelling.

Ourselves: 100 Micro Memoirs is the first collection of micro memoir published in Australia.
In 750 words or fewer, these 100 carefully crafted stories invite the reader into the histories we often edit—or don’t tell—about ourselves.
One hundred authors give voice to the raw, chaotic and joyful spectrum of what it means to be human. Each micro memoir is unique in its scope, but the collection resonates with threads of shared experience across cultures and generations.
Three Can Keep a Secret
A captivating collection of flash fiction, Three Can Keep a Secret showcases work from eighty-one established and emerging Western Australian writers. One hundred stories simmer with shadows, secrets and silences beneath the surface of everyday lives. Playful and reflective, comic and raw, the collection explores human relationships, grief, vulnerability and celebrates the extraordinary in the ordinary.
