KIND WORDS

Our Collaborators

Swoon were an absolute dream to work with. The thought, passion, and creativity they poured into bringing my book box to life was extraordinary.

Every designer and artist involved was carefully chosen, and their communication with me throughout the process meant I was genuinely included every step of the way. The final product was one of the most stunning book boxes I’ve ever seen — and the response from my readers reflected that too.

It’s important to me to collaborate with queer artists, creators, and businesses where I can and the fact that Swoon is all three made the experience even more meaningful. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Swoon again. If you’re an author approached by Swoon for a collaboration, take that opportunity with both hands - they’ll create something truly special for you and your book. And if you’re a reader looking to spend your hard earned cash on a special edition of your favourite book, you will not be disappointed with a Swoon SE!

Scarlett Drake, Author

There's a hundred percent collaboration through our workflow, as a result we get to keep things playful and bring the heart of the stories we love to life!

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Kell for the Hamartia Special Edition Book Box. Kell is super passionate, meticulous (in the best way) and a total visionary. As a Graphic Designer, I couldn't have asked for a better partner; our conversations are always brimmed with excitement.

Kell is the backbone of Swoon Bookstore, consistently pushing boundaries and now paving the way to leave a memorable imprint within the book community!
