In 2008, Black Inc. published the first in the Growing Up series, Growing Up Asian in Australia, a collection of fifty-five short memoirs and nine interviews, edited by Alice Pung. Growing Up Asian has since gone on to sell over 104,000 copies and launch the careers of Alice Pung, Benjamin Law and many more.

Featuring some of the most well-known and emerging voices in Australian writing, each book in our Growing Up series captures the diversity of our nation in moving and revelatory ways. Since that inaugural edition, we have proudly published Growing Up in Country Australia, Growing Up Aboriginal, Growing Up African, Growing Up Queer and Growing Up Disabled in Australia.
