Overview

aquaZZ is a Dutch publishing house (uitgeverij) based in Arnhem, founded in October 2009 by author Angélique Kersten. The name derives from her long-time pseudonym and nickname 'aquaangel'; it is pronounced 'akwaz' and is intentionally written without a capital letter, with the double Z forming the logo on the spine of its books. The imprint operates as a small, flexible publisher working with a network of freelance professionals (ZZP-ers) on tasks such as author contact, book and cover design, editing, website maintenance, sales and administration. In addition to publishing other authors, Kersten has released several titles of her own, including prose and poetry, drawing on her earlier experience of placing manuscripts with various publishers. aquaZZ remains a private, independent Dutch-language publisher.
