Pegasaurus Publishing

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.
