Short novels of aerial combat over the Western Front — canvas wings, castor oil, and the men who flew towards the guns at dawn. Fast, vivid, and grounded in the true history of the war in the air.
First title in the hangar — read the dispatchesMurder at a five-kilometre pace. Cosy mysteries set at the International Flags parkrun, winding among the flags and along the shores of Lake Burley Griffin in the heart of Canberra — where the coffee is strong, the barcode is mandatory, and the alibis are timed to the second.
First title warming up — notes from the barcode tableOur editor-in-chief writes the other side of the shelf: what it takes to run a publishing house the size of a laptop — the tools, the numbers, and the occasional triumph.
Now writing — the editor's ledgerBecause some books are companions. They sit with you on long flights, wait patiently on the bedside table, and purr quietly when you pick them up again. That's the kind of book we publish.
Emotional Support Books is an independent press based in Canberra, Australia. We're starting small — three authors, three very different worlds — with room on the shelf for more.
