Exploring Alternative publishing to Create Opportunities

This week we're featuring Shefali's interview with Natasha Knight at the Association of Illustrators, where she talks about how alternative publishing and zine making can fuel artistic ambitions and reap rewards.

Shefali argues that we need alternative publishing to be visionary and inspiring and that alternative publishing can offer a space to support human illustrators and the industry in general.

She talks about becoming a mainstream publisher with Pudding Press Ltd, but how she still uses zines for single ideas and niche projects.
