BlackWattle Press published the first issue of cargo magazine in 1987, and went on to produce 27 lesbian and gay books in total; the last title was published in 1997. At this stage the BlackWattle archives consist of two lists: all BlackWattle publications (name, date, ISBN, item titles etc) and detailed lists of all authors. Separately are the covers of all cargo magazines, along with authors and item titles. Some chapbooks have been scanned [or rebuilt] and are presented on the gay-ebooks site as downloadable pdfs.

Who we are:
lesbian-ebooks

www.lesbian-ebooks.com.au is an initiative of www.gay-ebooks.com.au. Our aims are to foster lesbian and gay writing in Australia.


Editor: Kate O'Brien

I am a Sydney writer who believes passionately in the possibilities offered by on-line publishing. Up to now, my main exposure as a writer has been in the theatre. I have written or co-written 21 plays, all of which have found productions in Adelaide or Melbourne.
Over the last few years, my work has become increasingly concerned with the ambiguities, complexities, perplexities, agonies and ecstasies of sexuality between women. I have explored aspects of these in four of my last five plays.
(Silver Rose, 2002; Ladies and Gentlemen, 2005; Our Miss Fitson, 2005; Interim, 2007; Out of the Blue, 2008).
A published poet and short story writer, I hold a Master of Arts in Creative Writing (UTS), specialising in prose fiction. I have recently completed a novel, Lost Songs.


How it works:

We'll get you cheaper and faster access to oz lesbian lit by producing pdf files that you can easily view on-screen. We save costs such as printing, distribution and retailer markups, and you pay - nothing, it's FREE! You still could, if you wanted, still print them out to store them in the real world, but why bother with all that ink, paper and Ikea shelving. The real plus with this project is that the ideas, the stories, and the magic (all the best bits) can be in your hands almost immediately. Enjoy!

Email the: editor@lesbian-ebooks.com.au We're looking forward to reading your work.



About our downloadable files:

All download files on this site are in the portable document file (pdf) format, so you will need a pdf program to read them. There are free readers available on most computer platforms and most computers will come with one installed; but if you need to install a reader we suggest you start with the originator Adobe's Acrobat. All our files will carry encryption and may have restrictions for use; for example some files may be for screen viewing only. Normally editing the file or extraction of text, pictures is not possible.
