The story of

KESWiN Publishing

The company was founded by Deb Donnell in 2003 and incorporated in 2006.  The original vision for the company was to produce books and publications on personal development and self-publishing.

However, this all changed on 22 February 2011.  The devastation of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand had a huge impact on Deb.  As a result, she made a commitment to also publish books that documented the city’s transformative journey.  These included:
