Black Eyes are

Peter Lay – Publisher

All the technical stuff involved in the production and publishing of ‘Black Eyes’ books, templates, layout, contracts, pricing, royalties, marketing, etc. It is Peter’s job to ensure that all ‘Black Eyes’ books are available via all Amazon platforms, Worldwide, as well as to order from bookshops and other booksellers, Worldwide, via the major wholesalers.

Josephine Lay – Creative Writing Adviser & Editor

Josephine, as the Creative Writing Adviser for ‘Black Eyes’ has a major say in who we publish. We look for excellence, creativity and emerging talent. As Editor for ‘Black Eyes’, Josephine works with the author to maintain their voice throughout the editing process. ‘Black Eyes’ is very much a team, and Josephine has her say, as we all do, on most aspects of the production and publishing process.

Jason Conway – Cover Designer

Jason of thedaydreamacademy.com is our go-to person for cover design and cover completion. Every cover design at ‘Black Eyes’ is a four-way dialogue between the Author, Josephine, Peter and Jason. Usually, one of us has an initial idea, and then there is always an element of to and fro with the design, or even a rethink, until we are all happy with the concept. Then it’s up to Jason to bring that concept to life as a ‘Black Eyes’ cover.
