Who wants to help us start a rumour that reading Australian literature is just as vital as toilet paper for survival so we can get some indie bookstores looking like this?

UWAP is one of the few places left to publish serious scholarly work on Australian literature. It’s closure would leave a massive whole in Australian literary and intellectual culture. Sign this petition.
A petition has been created to protest the decision made by @uwanews to close @uwapublishing. This decision is a massive loss to #Australian#literature, as @terriannwhite has a stellar track record in publishing innovative, engaging Australian writing: https://t.co/1IGcxuMrQC
