Artemis Publishing

Two lists are published: an Australian women's biographical series, and a feminist crime fiction series. Artemis Publishing was founded by Jocelynne Scutt to increase her control over the books she wrote. Feminist anthologies are the favoured format because they showcase the diversity of as many women's lives as possible. Artemis Publishing does not have a website but you can contact Jocelynne at her website.
