Established in 2007, AILSAPRESS is a small independent publisher on the Isle of Islay. Our aim is to produce art-led books for the gift and childrens market that will appeal to visitors who come to the island.
The Isle of Islay lies off the west coast of Scotland and is famous for the production of whisky. Its unspoiled natural beauty attracts a wide variety of people to its shores: holiday makers, bird enthusiasts, whisky connoisseurs, walkers, divers and archaeologists to name but a few. Islay also plays host to 14 different festivals throughout the year, including a Whisky Festival, two Music Festivals (jazz and chamber music) and a Book Festival.
Ailsapress is searching for ideas from authors, photographers and/or illustrators whose work is high-quality and whose imagery has strong appeal.
