The Studio

Studio Lemara is a creative studio working at the intersection of literature, culture, and live experience.

We develop authors, direct creative strategy for publishers and brands, and curate cultural programming that puts the right voices in the right rooms.

Founded by Lemara Lindsay-Prince - formerly the first editor of #Merky Books at Penguin Random House and currently Talks Tent Programmer at We Out Here Festival - Studio Lemara is built on a decade of knowing which cultural voices matter, and building the spaces for them to land.

Author Development

We work with established authors ready to expand beyond the book - into brand partnerships, multi-platform presence, and wider cultural influence.

We develop your voice, your strategy, and your long-term cultural footprint. Not what the industry expects from you. What's actually, authentically yours.

This is close, considered work. We take on a small number of authors at a time.

Creative Direction

For publishers and brands with a genuine literary or cultural dimension. We offer strategic and creative input at the moments that matter.

From imprint identity and campaign positioning to cover direction, community strategy, and author development - we help you connect books and ideas to the communities that need them.

We work with organisations who understand that storytelling is not a marketing exercise. It's a long game.

Cultural Programming

We design and curate conversation-led programmes for festivals, institutions, and brands - rooted in community, identity, and culture.

Programming that makes audiences feel seen, challenged, and glad they stayed. We find the echo of a conversation in everyday culture before it becomes a panel — bringing audiences something new to wrap their heads around.
