From Tasmania, for curious minds everywhere
Built for readers. Made with creators.
OtherBound celebrates the full spectrum of speculative literature: the familiar, the unexpected and the stories that have yet to find their audience.
We are building a welcoming programme of conversations, workshops and events, with a longer vision for an annual festival in Launceston.
Our storyWhy it matters
More room for imagination.
Stories help people meet across generations, backgrounds and genres. They give new creators a place to begin and readers a reason to gather.
OtherBound aims to connect local communities with national talent while creating meaningful opportunities for writers, artists, booksellers and cultural partners.
