Friends Zoe Sadler and Krissy Lloyd are combining their skills in design and marketing, with their mutual love of books, to launch a small independent publishing press.
Frustrated by how increasingly difficult it is for new authors to make their mark in traditional publishing, Inkyeverafter Press has been founded by illustrator Zoe Sadler.
Zoe explains:
“I hope through Inkyeverafter Press we can improve the stigma around self-publishing and raise the standard of poor quality books that are often associated with this market.
“We will specialise in producing high quality illustrated children’s books, romance and fantasy fiction.”
The Freshwater-based illustrator has over 10 years’ experience working as a freelance children’s book illustrator and book designer. She also has various forms of experience within the publishing industry and self-published her first book ‘The Lighthouse Keeper – A Cautionary Tale’ in 2015.
Zoe will be joined at Inkyeverafter Press by her friend Krissy Lloyd. Krissy has over 10 years’ experience handling the PR and marketing for a variety of companies, charities and community groups on the Isle of Wight.
Through their design and PR services, the pair will provide a one stop shop for authors looking to self-publish their books. These will range from illustrations, type setting and layouts, advice on ebooks and print on demand services to tutorials and managing of social media and marketing campaigns.
