It all started after a conversation with one of our close friends around the dinner table. She had written a book and was having one hell of a time getting it published.  As we all came from backgrounds loosely associated with both the design and printing fields the idea was hit on to begin our own publishing group hence Black Leaf was born.

One of the first decisions made was that we were not going to follow the lines of other publishers on the market, but would select books that were innovative and alternative without compromising on a quality reading experience.

We set out to publish all our books by the traditional route but after a short time discovered that this was not always the best route for all manuscripts, and nowadays use both Traditional and Print On Demand methods with our books.
