Total Cardboard Publishing

Total Cardboard is a small press, loosely based in Melbourne, Australia. Its publishing ventures tend toward the alternative, the experimental, the socially progressive and the avant-garde, though there is no set program for what should or should not be published.

Total Cardboard is committed to:

  • Saving the environment - by failing to sell many books, and therefore reducing paper usage;
  • An end to war - to be achieved by such abstractions of the imagination and obsessions with insignificant aesthetic details that all aggressive action should become untenable;
  • Undermining capitalism - once again, by failing to sell many books;
  • Gender equality - by cultivating a narcissistic or 'artistic' temperament that precludes traditional gendered relationships such as 'being a couple', 'going steady', or, of course, any long-term, socially validated sexual union;
  • Exploring the potential of digital media - as a convenient justification for our failure to sell many books;
  • Freedom of thought, desire and imagination - for everyone, even if you are a fucking weirdo.


Submissions of all sorts are always welcome at Total Cardboard. If you have something you'd like to share, don't just sit there all coy and embarrassed - check our submission guidelines.
