Fremantle Press released their first book in 1976 — a poetry anthology. Fremantle Press began as a small press who was dedicated to five or six new works of poetry and prose but quickly grew to include creative non-fiction titles. This growth led to their success: AB Facey’s “A Fortunate Life” (1981). “A Fortunate Life” received praise by reviewers as ‘the quintessential Australian pioneer story’. To date, it has sold more than 750,000 copies and is still under license to Penguin Books. Today the press published books under twelve different genres including Science Fiction. The press is known for its excellence and breadth. With their careful selection of titles designed to appeal to a wider audience, Fremantle Press published twenty-four new titles a year and reprints many popular titles.
