We’ve had an absolute blast flying this small press from 2019. And are very proud of the 5 beautiful books we produced with your help during that time. A big thank you to all the wonderful writers we worked with, artist Sally Barnett and our loyal readers. You made it a joy!

Despite that, our personal / work circumstances have changed dramatically so it feels a natural time for us to wind down this project. We're closing our website shop now but will continue to sell books at occasional pop-up events. So do come say hi if you see us in the book wild!

Hi Space Cats. We’re calling home to tell you our little indie press rocket is docking permanently from here on. You will still see us at a few pop-up events, such as Leicester Libraries Local Writers Fair on Sat. 12th October. But we won’t be doing any new publishing.

Wow! 5 years since we joined X. And more importantly, since we launched our little indie press rocket. Tho' currently docked in hiatus (due to illness & new job), we hope to come back better. Big wave to all our wonderful authors & readers in meantime. Thank you! #MyXAnniversary

Finished my drawing of Snowflake Snoozing with white pastel pencil & chalk. You can imagine trying to comb the knots out of that fur while she is swiping with her claws. But all peaceful here. ✏ 😽

Still struggling to get over latest bout of post-viral fatigue. But cheered myself up with a morning drawing @SpaceCatPress in chalk. Love how Snowflake's fur pops against the black paper. To be continued... ✍
