Wick-based family book publishing company Crowvus reported that 2020 was a very busy and very successful year for the business.
Crowvus launched three novels over the year including one picture book, one non-fiction, one collection of short stories and two free eBooks.
Judith Crow, one of the Crowvus partners, said: âIt has been a difficult year for everyone, with coronavirus and lockdown, and we feel really lucky to have been able to keep developing Crowvus during such a time. If lockdown has shown us one thing, itâs that we need to think of ways to keep good mental health. Reading and creating are two things which bolster our mental wellbeing so Crowvus really came into its own this year as we could provide that.â
