Why Choose Painted Lady Press?
The painted lady is a common butterfly with the longest migration distance for its species, travelling from as far as the Arctic from Africa and back, over multiple generations. The butterfly symbolizes Painted Lady Press mission to make stories that traverse the world and our vision to archive lore for ourselves and successive generations.

Just as the butterflies’ migration is a communal undertaking, partnerships and community to strengthen East Africa’s creative communities are welcome.
