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.

CryBaby
Mabel Gibson
‘I was born a human storm. Emotionally charged from my very first breath of warm September air.’
CryBaby is an incredibly generous and authentic collection of micro memoir that offers a way to honour the layers of our younger selves. Mabel writes people and places that are equally vivid, and grief that is penetrating and honest.
