Windy & Wallflower has always gotten a helping hand from family and friends (most especially with conventions and things). BUT more recently as we spread ourselves out more professionally we’ve gotten a lot more help from outside hands. Here’s a page of professional people who’ve given us a helping hand getting our stories out there.
REPRESENTATION
AZANTIAN LITERARY AGENCY
Jen Azantian agents for both Tas & Winter for our published and professional work. If you like our work (most notably for prose, comics, covers, or illustration) then feel free to reach out and we’ll see if we can work something out.
WEBHOSTING

Family is as family does! We get a lot of help with internet, hosting and websitage through Winter’s folks who’ve supported everything we’ve ever set our minds to!
WEBRINGS
HIVEWORKS COMICS
Hiveworks helped us with all of our webcomic websites and the comics.windywallflower landing page! They’ve also helped us with editing for Augustine. Not to mention Hiveworks hosts a lot of queer indie webcomics. Their library is chock full of fantastic artists and stories you should definitely check out.
DISTRIBUTORS
EMERALD COMICS DISTRO
We’ve been working with Emerald Comics Distro for the last few months to get some of our books into bookshops on the US west coast to start with! They spend a lot of time and resources helping artists do exactly this! Consider checking out their online shop too! They have loads of indie zines and books well worth checking out! Support Indie with reach!!
PUBLISHERS

Formerly, PENGUIN RAZORBILL, Tas is currently publishing two books with them, the first being the one we all know and love, Lost Time.
QUINDRIE PRESS
Winter made a short comic for their anthology: When I Was Me: Moments of Gender Euphoria.
PRINTERS & MANUS
These are all the folks we work with to make the books and things that we make! There’s always way more people with hands on our projects making it possible to continue creating the stories and things that we do.
BOOKS & PAPER
LE CAÏUS DES LIVRES — MTL
We’ve been printing with Caïus for a long time. They do great work on short print runs (anything under 250). Fast & Reliable. They print a good 1/2 our table.
MARQUIS — QC/CA
Handles a lot of our BIG STUFF (orders of 250 or more, ideally over 1000). Absolute powerhouses, the staff is so friendly & easy to work with! These guys easily print the second half of our table.
JUKEBOX PRINT — CA
Handles a lot of our paper items: bookmarks, business cards, fliers, stickers, magnets. SUPER fast turnaround.
VIDEPRESS — CA
This Toronto-based Risograph printer is responsible for some 4×6 Violins prints way back when, AND the illustrated Myth Retold editions.
MERCHANDISE
POLYFORM PRINTING — MTL
I’ve got these guys at the top of our list because, guess what, they’re friends of Winter’s cousin and their quality is phenomenal. Our tote bags are screen-printed with them and we’re looking to work on a few more things in the future.
STITCH & INK — MTL
We make all of our embroidered shit with these guys: BIG patches, keychains & the first run of our Pretty Boy caps.
GS-JJ
We’ve been creating pins & small patches with these guys for years & years & every time the quality is incomparable.
MAKE PLAYING CARDS
We’ve admittedly printed only a couple prototypes & a full deck with them but the quality’s A+ every time.
VOGRACE
These guys make our zipper pouches & acrylic charms, very good standard, quality is consistent and real good.
STOCKISTS
