Love Large Print Project (LLPP) is a not-for-profit Campaign
Run by a passionate Team of Writers, Poets, Publishers and Artists dedicated to serving the needs of vision impaired, neuro diverse, dyslexic and other dynamic creatives, and book lovers everywhere. We aim to increase the range and diversity of Large Print Publications at Literary Festivals, Bookshops, Libraries and anywhere books are on display or for sale.

We host free live events at Literary Festivals, Libraries and Bookshops showcasing the work of writers, poets, artists, musicians, and associated creative people and agencies across the UK and beyond. Accessibility and Inclusivity are at the heart of everything we do in our bid to bring people and communities together in a safe and fun environment.
We also offer mentoring and peer support to participants and visitors.

Love Large Print Officially Launched!
(Jessica Wright, 2025)
On a bright and warm February afternoon, an inspiring and creative group of authors, poets, and bibliophiles came together to celebrate the official launch of the LOVE LARGE PRINT PROJECT!
We are thrilled to usher in a new non-profit that highlights the need for more large print publications, and this launch was the exciting beginning of that journey. Throughout the afternoon we had guest speakers share their writing processes, the inspiration behind their works, as well as live reading performances of original poetry and prose. Wendy Imashev, our fearless captain and founder, welcomed all to the project as she detailed our core values and mission.
Special Guest Author, Judy Leigh, shared with us delightful sections of a few of her books, including "The Witches Tree" and "The Cream Tea Killer". Afterwards, she answered the audience's questions about her writing, her publisher, and throughout the day sold copies of her books and did a book signing.
Art and passion sparked in the air and, following Judy, several more authors and poets shared their work with the LLPP Launch audience. The afternoon heard the inspiring voices of: Dr. Rosie Freedman, Paul Oliver, Jessica Taggart Rose, Nina Telegina, Annerose Weiler, and Jessica Wright.
Wendy concluded the event with a riviting Book Auction, the proceeds of which went to the LLPP fund.
Overall the launch was a huge success! Thank You to the Event Staff, Organizers, Poole Lighthouse, Authors, and Guests for such a great start to our project! Stay tuned for more events.

London Book Fair March 2025
We attended this year's London Book Fair!〜
What an impressive event it was! The sprawling festival was absolutely bursting, bustling with passion, print, and business. We represented the Love Large Print Project, met some wonderfully creative people, and had the opportunity to spread awareness of the project.
It was truly awe inspiring to be among all the publishers, authors, and book enthusiasts. Wendy and Jessica were exhausted after just one day! Here's hoping LLPP gets the opportunity to go to the London Book Fair again in future! ✧(full post -> LLPP's FB)
