About Me

Vignette Press publishes unique books and magazines that may be a little different to anything you’ve seen before. But one thing you can be sure of is that you’ll enjoy reading the publications we produce.

Mini Shots are a new concept magazine series. Each collectable mag contains one short story, and features the brilliant artwork of photographer Bronwen Hyde.
