Invisible Publishing Leigh Nash Book publisher and lapsed poet Picton, Ontario How has the pandemic affected you? In so many ways! We’re a household with two still-full-time employed adults and one very sociable three-year-old. Every day is a juggling act between work and work meetings and playtime and childcare. Our response to the lack of sleep was to use our daycare savings to buy an espresso maker. It was the right decision. I wish I had time to read more, to write, or to even stare at a wall. We’ve only delayed two books so far, and as we’re set up to work remotely, Invisible’s been business as usual – which is even stranger when everything else is not. What has brought you joy during this time? Aside from the espresso maker? Despite the pandemic, we sent our first full-colour cookbook off to the printer in mid-May. The title is County Heirlooms: Recipes and Reflections from Prince Edward County. It was Nat Wollenberg’s (of 555 Brewing & The County Canteen in Picton) idea; she did all the interviews and took all the photos.
