THE MONKEY PUZZLE STORY:

Intuitive marketing against the odds

Zoë Meyer has 25 years of experience in all aspects of book and magazine publishing, working for art publisher Thames and Hudson and Search press in the UK followed by consultancy projects in Moscow and Madrid. In 2000 she launched her own successful publishing company ‘Sage Press’ producing a series of delightful pocket books on individual trees and topiary topics.

The clever design and feel of the little ‘Sage Press’ tree books brought Zoë an unexpected bonus: friends and colleagues asked her to help produce and publish their own books, relating to their work or profession with lots of colour images.

Today Zoë offers her publishing consultancy to a wide range of clients, including artists, poets, writers of memoirs and children’s stories, their ages ranging from 30 to an impressive 94 yrs. Her most recent enquiry was from a determined 97 year-old author. They all value the flexibility and potential of self-publishing and Zoe finds it very satisfying to help them achieve their goals.
