KARA SEVDA PRESS

In 2018 I took on a volunteer role as Creative Director at Kara Sevda Press, a small independent imprint focused upon providing a platform to women of colour. I was involved since the organisation’s inception and was responsible for branding, website construction, social media content strategy, photography, digital marketing, publishing and distribution. I also designed, typeset and printed the imprint’s first book - Gerii Pleitez’s On The Sunday She Created God.

I also managed the PR for the imprint’s first book, organising the book launch at Better Read Than Dead, securing interviews with media outlets like SBS, RRR and 2SER, plus securing the author her first festival appearances at Emerging Writers Festival. The book is now independently stocked in over 30+ stores in Australia and has been shortlisted for a number of literary awards.
