Who We Are
We are a Sussex based independent publishing company. Our ethos is simple; to showcase writing and illustrating talent from local Sussex people and to publish books that are of interest to Sussex residents and visitors.
This company was set up by Katie Ramsay in 2010. Struggling to find a job post travelling, Katie decided to tackle the recession head on and set up her own company. Fully aware that many aspiring artists and writers struggle ot get their work out there she decided to use her home county of Sussex as a platform for showcasing local talent.
The Eco Guide to Sussex is the first publication from Pegasaurus Publishing. It was thought up after a brain storming session in which Katie tried to consider what was missing from Sussex bookshelves and what genre of publication would be interesting to locals.

By Various Contributors, published by Pegasaurus Publishing. RRP £8.99
A Sussex Poetry Anthology is a collection of poems written by eleven local poets who have been inspired by Sussex. From ‘Another Brighton Day’ by John Shepherd- Jones and ‘Brighton’s Song’ by Rosemary Graham, both reflecting a diverse and charming coastal city, to poetry inspired by the stunning village of Alfriston and the surrounding countryside.
There is no better way to celebrate Sussex than by publishing an anthology of poems that truly reflect and honour the county’s beauty, diversity and culture.
This anthology is not just a collaboration of poems inspired by Sussex, but it is also showcasing the talent of local poets and illustrators.
‘Inspiring...’
‘A fantastic selection of poems that all Sussex residents will be able to identify with..’
Wanted: Aspiring writers, poets and illustrators!
SUSSEX POETRY ANTHOLOGY:
We are looking for poetry inspired by Sussex for our volume 2. This can be interpreted in any way. It really is a very simple brief. I envisage poems about the scenery, seaside, places, events, the people, specific towns/cities, seagulls and so on. Short on long any contribution is appreciated. We are looking for poets to contribute between 1 - 3 poems and a short biography about yourself along with some brief info about the inspiration behind your poems.
I am happy to showcase many different styles of poetry, my only condition is that the poems are in someway reflective of or inspired by the county of Sussex.
Due for publication Mid 2011.
A - Z HISTORY OF SUSSEX:
The A-Z History of Sussex is a brief historical guide to Sussex aimed at residents interested in local history and visitors to Sussex. The book will go through the alphabet looking at some of the many villages, cities and towns in Sussex.
Contributions need to examine key things to look out for in areas of Sussex. They need to be accurate, descriptive and interesting. For example in Brighton the chapter would look at Brighton’s history as a small fishing village and how it developed into the busy tourist city that it has become today. In many areas of Sussex we have castles, monuments and roman villas demonstrating the rich and diverse history of the county.
If you live locally and you identify strongly with a particular area then we want to hear from you. Are you fascinated by the history of East Sussex with its web of smuggler’s tunnels or the battle of 1066? Are you interested in the Roman invasions of Sussex or the history of industry in Sussex.
This book will demonstrate the rich and varied history of Sussex. It will not attempt to present a full history of the whole of Sussex but instead look at history in terms of an A-Z of Sussex from the perspective of local historians in Sussex and local residents. If it interests you, then it interests us.
It will be more of a snapshot history of Sussex with articles being between 1000 - 3000 words long. Contributions can present an overview of a particular area or village in Sussex or can look in more depth at a particular historic event or building in Sussex.
Due for publication Summer 2011.
