Let's Print!

We always knew the story mattered. Now we understand the print does too.

Our desire to feel the story in our hands led us to create a prototype book by unconventional means. It helped us refine the illustrations and layout before deciding who to partner with on our self-publishing journey.

We knew self-publishing was the right path, not just to maintain creative control, but to maximise donations to charity. So, we searched far and wide for someone we could trust to bring the book to life to the highest standard.

That search surprisingly led us to 2co Limited, a local printer in Northwich, Cheshire. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were met with professional, friendly advice. As complete novices in the world of publishing, we valued the insight of someone who could help translate our vision into print.

Sally and John at 2Co understood our ‘soft yet vibrant’ colour brief, despite its contradictions in practical printing terms. Page by page, colour by colour, they took the time to check tone, balance and texture with a level of care that goes well beyond standard process.

Fast forward a few months, and here we are, witnessing the moment My Mum’s a Chameleon came to life. Not on a screen, but in hand, like all good books should be. The result is a beautiful reflection of what we set out to create.

There is something deeply rewarding about seeing someone else take the same care and attention to detail as you have. And it is something every reader will feel as they turn the pages and share in this story of love and hope.
