Founded in 2003, Celapene Press is based in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

Our goals are to:

• provide opportunities for new, emerging and established writers and illustrators
• publish a range of high quality books by predominantly Australian writers
• promote small press publishing in Australia through membership of SPUNC (Small Press Underground Networking Community) who exist to advance the interests of the Australian small and independent publishing sector
• hold the annual Charlotte Duncan Award and donate the profit to the Neo Natal Unit, Melbourne Royal Children's Hospital

Short and Twisted 2009 was launched by Jonathan Elsom at Burrinja Gallery in Upwey on May 2nd, 2009. Once again filled with crime, humour and drama, these well-crafted stories play with your mind until the final twist gets you in the end.

Congratulations to Stella Tarakson who was awarded first prize in the Charlotte Duncan Award 2009 for her story "Ashley's guitar".

Celapene Press is a member of SPUNC, the Small Press Underground Networking Community, who exists to advance the interests of the Australian small and independent publishing sector, and to facilitate cooperation between members of that sector.
