Giramondo Publishing

Giramondo was founded by Ivor Indyk and Evelyn Juers, who have worked as its publishers up until the present day. The company's initial publishing output was in the literary journal HEAT, which gave space to emerging and established authors both from Australia and overseas, often in translation. In 2001, Giramondo moved with Indyk to the University of Newcastle. In 2005, it moved again to join the Writing and Society Research Group at Western Sydney University's Bankstown campus. It relocated its offices to the university's campus in Parramatta, where it is currently based.

Giramondo began its publication of poetry and fiction in 2002. The imprint has published titles by authors including Alexis Wright, Brian Castro, Judith Beveridge, Jennifer Maiden, Alan Wearne and Gerald Murnane. In recent years it has presided over the development of a literature based in Western Sydney, through the publication of books by Fiona Wright, Felicity Castagna, Luke Carman and Michael Mohammed Ahmad.

In 2017, Giramondo launched its Southern Latitudes series with All My Goodbyes, a novel by Argentine author Mariana Dimópulos. The series aims to "bring together writers from the southern hemisphere, and to allow their work to strike resonances for Australian writers and readers." Giramondo also produces a series of short-form books of limited print run, which carry the tongue-in-cheek quote from Les Murray's poem "The Dream of Wearing Shorts Forever": "It is time perhaps to cherish the culture of shorts."
