The Sydney Book-Makers Group

We're a group for people interested in self-publishing their content such using online publishing tools for worldwide distribution to a niche audience to limited edition hand-made books such as zines.

People like:
- graphic designers and illustrators
- professional and amateur photographers
- writers and poets who are looking for alternatives to get their work out to the public.
- family history biographers
- travellers, foodies and bloggers of every description who want to leverage their online following with a published book.
