Night Parrot Press (NPP) 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.
