Creative Lives: Aimée Felone, publisher and co-founder
Having previously worked as an assistant editor at publishing company Scholastic, in 2017 Aimée joined forces with co-worker David Stevens to launch their own inclusive, independent children’s publisher, Knights Of. With a focus on publishing books that reflect a more diverse spectrum of stories and characters, Aimée joins us on the podcast this week to talk about the journey they’ve taken so far, the realties and challenges of setting up shop, and share her advice on working as a creative partnership. ... This episode of Creative Lives was recorded at The Story, a one-day conference organised by content studio, Storythings. It was presented by Marianne Hanoun and the editor was Ivor Manly. Lecture in Progress is made possible with the support of a number of brand partners – they include Google, Sky Creative Agency, Colophon Foundry, G.F Smith and The Paul Smith Foundation.
