The story of
Deb Donnell
KESWiN Publishing was founded in 2006 by indie publisher, Deb Donnell. Her first book was written in the cafes of Canterbury, reflecting on growing up and living in the region.
However, Deb did not get serious about publishing until 2011. Like so many survivors from the Central Business District, the February 2011 Christchurch Earthquake was a life changing experience. In the days that followed the devastating event, Deb made a decision to not only tell her story, but also to help the crush injured survivors and trained volunteers who answered the city’s cry for help.
