Here’s to a lovely Book Market weekend

And what a weekend it was.

People everywhere, delicious sausages (have I mentioned how much I like sausage sizzles?), bargains galore, author signings and readings – but the best part was all the people who came out to celebrate with us.

We feel like we’ve met a little more of the neighbourhood now – and like we’ve been welcomed with open arms. Thanks so much, guys. It’s so lovely getting to know you all. And for all our old friends who made the trek across town: thanks so much for coming, because it was bloody lovely to see you all too!

And for those of you who were with us when the heavens opened on Saturday afternoon – wasn’t it spectacular?! We made a mad dash to get all books, people and sausages inside. I am very relieved to say that not a single sausage was ruined by rain. The books and people seemed to come out of it okay, too.

Welcome!

Come one, come all!

Book Market author schedule

A big thanks to all the Wakefield authors who came along – we’re all WP family. And the readings were fantastic!

Book Market sausage sizzle

Clinton and Neil, sausage sizzlers extraordinaires. These guys kept me well fed for the duration.

Thanks so much for coming out, y’all! Here’s to Book Market 2015!

Wakefield Press has MOVED HOME

Sorry about the absence without leave, guys, but we’ve been pretty darn busy over here —

As some of you will be aware by now, Wakefield Press has moved!

Rose St flags

Through the doorway there you can see our epically cool new conference room (cheers Liz!)

We were the cool kids on the block in Kent Town for twenty-five years, and it’s an area that we will always love dearly.

Sometimes, though, it’s time for a change. A new place. More storage space. A shake-up, if you will.

And we’d been admiring the energy of the west side of town for so long …

So, update your rolodexes! Tell your friends! Recommend some boutique beers from the Wheaty!

Empty office

Check out all this natural light, guys!

Our new address is 16 Rose St, Mile End, and you can give us a call on (08) 8352 4455.

Bookshop is now open and – as always – we’d love to see your smiling faces.
