What does it mean to work with a petite press?

It means to walk closely with the process and service of bringing your work to form. A service that navigates the steps it takes from start to finish in bringing ether to earth -aka- your words and storytelling into material form. While you maintain complete creative freedom & sovereignty from start to finish.

Petite Press offers formatting services & support in bringing your manuscript & vision into a layout of a book spread.

Petite Press is resourced and informed by what’s needed by industry standards. Here to bridge the gap for the sovereign artist. This is for those that wish to maintain creative freedom & also work with the skills of a designer in bringing the vision to life. Independent artists have the power of sourcing what they need that could be: a] an illustrator b]photographer c]editor/peer-review d]book-formatting e]printer f]retail/e-commerce for sharing with the world g]social media promo.

Everyone has a different threshold of what they can or want to carry along the way when publishing work, depending on personal skill level, time & money.

Petite Press works 1-1 providing a present creative process that involves you along the way. Treating it as an energetic container. There to meet each as they are & what they are seeking.

Whether that be from seeking vision support & more creative input from pp or if you come here with a clear view on how you want things to look.

Self-empowerment as artists and creators has become something to learn and nourish. The artist mind is not the same as the tactile mind. Left brain/ Right brain. Separating the two can save our sanity. It’s all about digestibility and support in the process.

Earthworm does’t eat more than they can chew as they navigate the soil of their lives. Petite Press will get in the soil with you.
