Wide Open Sea creates art, books, zines and more.
This indie micro-publisher is curator-historian Alice and artist Jamie. From our hillside cottage in the Lake District, we look out to the wide horizon of possibilities for indie publishing and crowdfunding.
We are gradually building our publishing, with a growing collection of inspiring encounters with interesting, wild women. These books blend compelling storytelling with good advice forged from years of experience.
We also make zines, prints and merch, usually produced in short print runs by other indie businesses.
Do you have an idea for a book?
Get in touch and tell us about it! Wide Open Sea can help with editing, proofreading, design and publishing your book.
We also welcome opportunities to collaborate on crowdfunding projects and creative endeavours of all kinds.
Fundraising books
We’ve raised thousands of pounds for various charities with our well-designed, thoughtful and high quality art books. Using crowdfunding and limited print runs, we keep costs under control and maximise donations to good causes.
We’d love to hear your ideas for new fundraising publishing projects. Work with us to develop, design and crowdfund, and make your idea a reality.
