Streamline Publishing 

Streamline Publishing was born from pure passion. Cathy Oliver, owner and publisher, was inspired during the height of the Covid pandemic to create a place that allowed her to share the books she had been discovering and working on through her home-based editing and publishing services. 

Cathy was inspired by true life stories of humanity and a desire to bring these beautiful books to the hands of the local community and beyond. The store is now an expanding hub for children and adult books with a focus on books that carry important meaning and messages. 

If you are after a truly enlightening and engaging experience and read, pop into Streamline Publishing and explore the treasures that await.
