Same Page intends to bring together a select network of imprints, publishers and distributors who have a shared commitment to supporting contemporary artists, writers and thinkers. The bespoke art book fair will aim to create a community-oriented platform, highlighting the practices of independent local and international presses and collective activities in contemporary publishing. The event will be supported through a promotional campaign coordinated by Gertrude and Perimeter, and will also include a select number of public programs such as panel discussions, book launches and other activities.
Applications are open to local and international exhibitors. If you are a self-publisher with only one or two titles, you may be interested in our Self-Publishers Collective Table as opposed to a half/full table – see here for more information.
Participating exhibitors will be responsible for staffing their booths during all public hours of the fair as well as coordinating all required point-of-sale equipment, cash float or other payment systems. All sales will be collected by the stallholders themselves; Gertrude and Perimeter do not take any portion of the proceeds.
A participation fee (AU$110 inc GST for full table / AU$55 inc GST for half table) is required to exhibit. This helps us cover the costs of furniture hire for the duration of the fair and contributes to costs associated with running the fair. Participation fees do not generate profit for Gertrude or Perimeter. Please let us know if you are unable to cover this cost.
Applications close 11.59pm AEST Friday June 26, 2026.
Applicants will be notified by email about their application status by the end of July 2026. Table fees will be invoiced shortly after. Submitting an application does not guarantee your participation at Same Page 2026.
If you have any enquiries about the fair or the application form before applying, please contact us at hello@perimeterbooks.com BEFORE applications close.
