'Stephen Matthews's initiative in establishing Ginninderra Press has made a significant contribution to contemporary Australian literature, providing welcome opportunities for both emerging and established writers. Matthews's dedication and passion are the lifeblood of this unique independent publishing house, which had its beginnings in a spare room of his Canberra home twenty years ago. Now firmly based in South Australia at Port Adelaide, Ginninderra Press has published hundreds of writers of both adult fiction and non-fiction. It has launched many poets in an innovative variety of formats, and its authors have garnered an impressive number of awards. In this celebratory volume, Rays of Light: Ginninderra Press - the first 20 years, nine essays by GP authors give an insight into its raison d' tre, its achievements and its founder, and express their gratitude for the opportunities Ginninderra Press has given them to fulfil their writing aspirations.' - Christobel Mattingley AM
