As a member of the Australian Publishers Association, UWA Publishing supports the 2025 Books Create Australia campaign.
The APA has partnered with the Australian Library and Information Association, the Australian Society of Authors, BookPeople and Australia Reads to champion Australian stories and knowledge, and advocating strongly for investment in publishing, books and reading.
Fair policies and investment are vital as business costs rise, reading rates decline, and AI disrupts creativity and learning. The industry faces long-term risks, for Australian content and production in particular. This election, Books Create Australia are asking for candidates to:
- Invest in reading
- Guarantee support for libraries
- Back Australian stories and publishers
- Ensure AI is fair
- Fund Australian authors
- Grow our local bookshops
- Sustain our literary life
Books Create Australia is an industry alliance between authors, booksellers, librarians, and publishers. Together we are advocating for a vibrant reading nation and a thriving book industry. Find out more: https://bookscreate.com.au/
