More about us
  





Kia ora, I'm Grace Bridges and I run this place. 
Splashdown Books is a speculative fiction indie press that now functions as a hybrid imprint, meaning that authors who meet our criteria can publish themselves and keep total creative control while enjoying the benefits of belonging to an established brand. Our titles have collected a dozen award recognitions to date. Splashdown is poised to become a premiere New Zealand press by virtue of its unique personal contact acquisitions method, author-team management structure, international vision, and determination for excellence.
