Engaging, Short-Form, Non-Fiction Publishing
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Ueberschwarz is a publishing venture with an international focus, and an intent on releasing non-fiction titles that are reasoned and evidentiary. It identifies itself as a general non-fiction publisher, with strong interests in the fields of history, politics and sociology, along with questions concerning cultural change, and the built and manufactured environment.
Bringing a new perspective to publishing, Ueberschwarz endevours to realise titles that may otherwise not be published, and present them through an innovative book design that reaches out to the contemporary reader. Producing digital and small-format print versions of its releases, Ueberschwarz also aims to keep costs to a minimum, while at the same time endeavouring to ensure those who bring the true value to its books – the authors and contributors – are duly respected.
Following on from its initial release of titles, Ueberschwarz is now also collaborating with visual artists engaged in research-based practices. These new titles will endeavour to deal with fundamental questions about how we can shape the world.
