We are Spud Publishing Inc.

A group of friends following our passions, to make your passions come true! Our roots are small potatoes, and ever growing as we work to support and produce books we want to see on the shelves, and in hand.

It all started with Debut...

Debut has been a project of passion and learning, and is our first publication available now!

This anthology features five stories from newly published authors, and ten accompanying illustrations. It is the first in what we hope will be a continuing series with Spud Publishing Inc. to promote and launch the work of new and existing authors and artists. In its conception, Debut was only ever meant to be a small, one time project, to prove we could do it! Thanks to this experience we asked ourselves: why stop there?

And so, Spud Publishing Inc. was born.

The spuds that made it all happen:

The Anxious One

Irish Williams

Coming along for the ride, and gladly shouldering much of the practical work, Irish is the motor that keeps our progress rolling. Also residing in Vancouver, British Columbia, she keeps her nose to the ground, seeking opportunity and partnerships with local businesses and artists. Being talented in both writing, and art, Irish often bridges the gap of the mediums and experiences.
