Last night we launched Double Happiness in Adelaide. Author Rochelle Siemienowicz was here and the crowd included her agent as well as plenty of writers and dancers. It was fascinating to see disparate groups come together and show an interest in this wonderful book. As always, Base64 was a magnificent spot for a party, so thank you Anna and Simon for letting us use the space. Jo Case asked insightful questions, Rochelle signed books and we danced. Thank you so much to everyone who came along and especially to the various photographers who helped out when my phone was hooked up to play music and I couldn’t take photos. It was a glorious event!

Last night we launched the exquisite Double Happiness by Rochelle Siemienowicz at the fabulous Littlefoot Bar in Footscray. It was such a fun night where the wonderful Lee Kofman chatted with Rochelle about the book and we all laughed and talked about sexy things, as you should at any good book launch when the book is about polyamory.
❤️❤️❤️

Our Story

MidnightSun Publishing has grown out of a disenchantment with the established publishing houses in Australia. We know there are plenty of fabulous manuscripts about unusual topics floating around, but publishing new and unknown writers poses a big risk. MidnightSun is prepared to take that risk.

We want our readers to be entertained. We want to challenge, excite, enrage and overwhelm. Therefore, we publish books in any genre that have touched us in some way. Because we are a new publishing company, striving to become established, we expect our writers to be enthusiastic about their own work and able to promote it in the wider community.

MidnightSun Publishing produces beautiful, enjoyable and sometimes challenging books. Anna Solding's The Hum of Concrete was released in March 2012 and since then we’ve gone from strength to strength. Many of our books have been shortlisted for and won awards. Some have been translated and published overseas. Check them out here: http://midnightsunpublishing.com/
