Turtle Creative

Our Story

At Turtle Publishing, we believe in the power of collaboration and teamwork to simplify the publishing process. Our journey began with a passion for helping emerging and undiscovered Australian authors bring their stories to life. Founded in 2020 by self-employed designer and happily married mother of two, Kathy Shanks, our mission is to provide a one-stop, cost-effective, independent self-publishing service that caters to the unique needs of each author.

Our Vision

We understand that publishing your own work can be the realisation of a long-standing dream. With the rise of online self-publishing, many opportunities have opened up for would-be authors. However, self-publishing need not be a solo experience. At Turtle Publishing, we guide and support our authors every step of the way, ensuring they can access and utilise the variety of opportunities available to create an affordable physical product that will be treasured for generations to come.

Our Services

We offer a range of services designed to support authors at every stage of the publishing process. From editing and book formatting to cover design, distribution, and printing, we've got you covered. Our team also specialises in audio book creation, Amazon optimised journal design, and tarot and oracle card design. Whether you're an experienced author looking to bring your ideas and stories to life, or a business owner looking to promote your professional expertise, we're here to help.
