BLOG
Every story starts somewhere.
The Duck Island blog is where our ideas hatch — from writing and publishing to creativity, storytelling, and life on our tiny island in the Pacific.
Phase One of Duck Island Publishing 🦆🏝️
Phase One of Duck Island Publishing 🦆🏝️ Or: How Two Goofy Island Music Lovers Accidentally Started a Publishing House If you told us a year ago that we’d be running a tiny publishing house from Hawaii while juggling children’s books, poetry collections, branding, social media, print specs, and enough Amazon upload errors to spiritually age us 47 years… we probably would’ve laughed at you. And then immediately started brainstorming anyway. Duck Island Publishing started the way a lot of meaningful things do: accidentally, creatively, chaotically, and fueled almost entirely by enthusiasm. At first, it was just ideas. Music. Stories. Conversations. Late nights talking about the kinds of books we wished existed and the kinds of creative lives we wanted to build for ourselves. Somewhere along the way, those conversations became real.
