Meet Our Freelancers
Midnight Meadow Publishing is what the industry calls a “boutique” press. Which basically means we are super small and niche. That also means we would be no where without the amazing freelancers we hire. Part of supporting self-pub authors is also supporting the freelancers who keep the self-pub (and indie press) world going round.
The list below includes some of our staff who also freelance. If you’re looking for hard-working, passionate professionals, who are also LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent friendly, this is a great place to start.
