Veronica Sumegi and Andras Berkes-Brandl established Brandl & Schlesinger in 1994.Their initial aim was to publish books by authors of culturally diverse backgrounds and to publish translations. They also have a large poetry list and have published several literary journals. As Veronica frequently attended the Frankfurt Book Fair, many of their titles have been sold to overseas publishers. Approaching eighty years of age, Veronica believes she is now the oldest working publisher in Australia.
