KDD ( Kate Davies Designs) publish books under MAKE / MARK , this is where they provide financial investment,in house skills and expertise to get a new book published and mentoring a new author / designer through the whole process of independent book production.
When the book is published, the author/ designer receives 1000 books, which they can then sell retail or wholesale, and order further print runs from us when necessary at cost. The author / designer retains all rights in their book; and the publisher, print 1000 books to sell themselves, which will enable KDD to recoup their investment in the project. MAKE / MARK is emphatically not a profit-making enterprise : the whole point of the imprint is to open some doors, bring other people forward, and to share what KDD has learned about independent publishing (and how to make it viable in business terms).
