Invest in a Home for WA Stories
Be a part of the stories that move us
Built in 1932, the SEC Substation at 10 Parry Street powered Fremantle’s electric trams for 20 years before becoming a marvellous museum called the World of Energy. Now the space is set to crackle and hum once more – this time with the words of storytellers from all walks of life and across all genres.
Proudly not for profit, Fremantle Press is an independent publishing house looking to secure a place to call home by its 50th anniversary in April 2026.

A home for WA stories
Our vision for the next 50 years is to expand our impact by opening up Fremantle Press to its community and providing a creative hub for writers and booklovers. This new storytelling powerhouse will be a place where we share the value of reading, ensure that all Australians get to see themselves represented in books, and keep Western Australian culture alive by publishing important local stories.
Your investment will help secure a long-term base for independent publishing in Western Australia, helping a vibrant and inclusive arts organisation to thrive for generations of writers and readers.

By supporting us you help ensure all Australians get to see themselves represented in books, make exciting local stories accessible to those who need them most, keep West Australian culture alive through the publication of important stories from all regions across the state, help share our stories with the world and provide a crucial pathway to publication for West Australian storytellers.
