Why Makyn Press?
Choosing Makyn Press means working with a team that understands both the creative process and the technical demands of modern publishing. We know the pressure of deadlines, the importance of maintaining creative control, and the value of lasting impact.
Our founder, Amanda Clarke-Peterson, built Mandakyns.com and Makyn Press to serve independent artists like herself—those who want professional, heartfelt, and polished books without giving up their creative rights.
Designed to Work With Mandakyns.com
Our sister site, Mandakyns.com, offers a full suite of art education resources, books, videos, and downloads for visual learners. Makyn Press builds upon that foundation, handling the publishing side so creators can focus on their craft.
