Australia's trusted self publishing company: ghostwriting, editing, design, distribution and marketing, all in one place
At Southern Cross Publishing, we assist you from writing to the final printed page. Are you holding a half finished manuscript, a voice note full of ideas, or a story you've carried for years? We are here to shape it into something the world will remember.
We are an Australian based company, and work with authors across every genre, every background, and every stage of the writing journey.
We know that the moment you decide to write a book, something shifts; suddenly, the idea that once felt private has now become something you want the world to know. That excitement is a real one, and it, of course, deserves to be protected.
At Southern Cross Publishing, we have created our complete process around keeping that feeling alive, from your very first conversation with us to the day your book lands in a reader's hands.
We do a lot more than just publishing books. We make them with proper care. Our network of experienced writers, editors, illustrators, and publishing specialists works closely with every author we work with, because no two stories are the same and no two authors need the same kind of support. No matter if you come to us with a completed manuscript or a single sentence of an idea, we meet you exactly where you are and help you complete the rest of the book with you.

Most authors don't need more information about publishing. They need someone to actually do it with them. Our team covers every stage, including editing, formatting, cover design, distribution, and marketing. Every step of the publishing journey, we do that. You get a single point of contact, a clear timeline, and none of the guesswork that usually makes self publishing so stressful.
A great book deserves a wide audience. We distribute across more than 40 global platforms so your work reaches readers in Australia, the UK, the US, and beyond. Whether it's a printed copy or an eBook, we make sure your book shows up where readers are already searching.
Getting published is one thing. Getting noticed is another. We help you build the kind of author presence that makes readers remember your name, not just your title. From Amazon A+ content to social presence through marketing, we position you and your book to reach exactly the right people.
Southern Cross Publishing was created around one simple belief: that good stories shouldn't stay locked inside the person who lived them. We've walked alongside hundreds of authors across Australia and around the world, helping them move from scattered notes and rough drafts to polished, professionally published books that genuinely connect with readers. Not because those authors were extraordinary. Because they showed up, and we did the rest.
What we offer isn't just a service. It's a partnership. From the moment you reach out, you have a dedicated team in your corner, people who care about your book almost as much as you do. We take care of the manufacturing, the design, formatting, distribution, and marketing, so your only job is to trust the process and stay excited about what you're creating.
The authors who publish are no different from the ones who don't, except that they made the call. If your story has been waiting long enough, this is the sign you were looking for.
Reach out to Southern Cross Publishing, and let's get your book written, built, and out into the world.
How It Works
Before anything else, we listen. This first conversation is about you, your background, your vision, the kind of book you want to put into the world, and the readers you want to reach. No forms and pressure. Just an honest chat so we understand exactly what we're building together.
After getting the complete understanding of your vision, our team will create a clear publishing plan according to your genre, your audience, and your goals. You will know exactly what's happening, in what order, and why, before a single page gets written or edited.
This is where your idea becomes a manuscript. Whether we are ghostwriting from scratch, editing what you have already written, or somewhere in between, our subject matter experts shape your content into clean, compelling, reader ready prose that sounds authentically like you.
Readers absolutely judge a book by its cover, so we make sure yours earns a second look. Our designers work on a complete visual package, interior formatting, typography, and a cover that reflects the heart of your story and stands out in any marketplace.
Every manuscript goes through a thorough quality review before it goes anywhere near a publishing platform. We check for consistency, accuracy, flow, and formatting across every format, print, eBook, and audiobook, so what reaches readers is something you are genuinely proud of.
We handle the submission, listings, metadata, and Amazon A+ content. Your book lands on 40+ global platforms, fully optimised so the right readers find it. You don't need to navigate a single publishing portal.
Publication is not the finish line; it's the starting gun. We continue supporting you with marketing strategies, author branding, and promotional tools that help your book build momentum long after launch day.
Publishing your first book should feel like a milestone, not a maze. We know that the moment you decide to write, something shifts. Suddenly, the idea that once felt private becomes something you want the world to see. That excitement is real, and it deserves to be protected.

Our Work
At Southern Cross, we do it right
Every strong book starts with honest editing. Our editors go line by line through your manuscript, tightening the structure, smoothing the pacing, and catching what you've stopped seeing after the hundredth read. We correct without controlling. When we're done, your book reads better and still sounds completely like you.
Our designers develop covers that are visually striking, genre appropriate, and created to communicate what your book is about before a single word is read. Print-ready and digital-optimised, every time.
Before your book can sell, it needs to exist in the system. We handle your ISBN registration and barcode setup, so your title is properly catalogued, discoverable on every platform, and eligible for distribution through bookstores both online and physical, anywhere in the world.
A finished book without a marketing plan is a whisper in a crowded room. We build your author presence from the ground up, including Amazon A+ content, platform listings, social positioning, and promotional strategy, all designed to put your book in front of readers who are already looking for exactly what you wrote.
Publishing with us never means signing away what's yours. You retain complete ownership of your manuscript, your cover, your content, and your earnings. We are here to build your book, not to own it. Every decision stays in your hands, from the first draft to the final sale.
Most publishing services vanish once the book goes live. But our team stays available after publication, whether you need help updating your listings, planning a second edition, building on your first book's momentum, or simply figuring out what comes next. You're a client for as long as you need us.
What our authors say
The audiobook production blew me away. Professional narration, proper sound quality, it sounds like something you'd find on Audible next to the big publishers. I must say I got what I really wanted.
Washington, DC
I came to Southern Cross with nothing but a Word document full of an incomplete manuscript. They made a published book from a half-finished book, which I am genuinely proud of. The editing team was thorough without stripping away my voice, which meant everything to me.
Chicago
The Southern Cross Publishing team handled all the technicalities of my book from cover design to Amazon listing. My book is now on 40 platforms, and I didn't have to figure any of it out myself. If you are serious about publishing, this is the team you want.

FAQs
Not at all. Most of our authors come to us somewhere in the middle, a rough draft, a scattered set of notes, or just a strong idea they haven't put on paper yet. We work with you from wherever you are right now. If you have a finished manuscript, great. If you have a voice memo and a vision, that works too. We figure out the starting point together on our first call.
