I am Daniel Nanavati, a publishing professional and artist based in Bodmin, Cornwall. I founded FootSteps Press in 2010 and have published 22 books from six authors, with a publish-and-distribute model through POD with Ingrams and major retailers worldwide. I also contribute as European Editor for New Art Examiner and co-own Edmund Dante Fine Art, with galleries in Bodmin and London. I’m passionate about connecting art, writing, and publishing to bring new voices to a wider audience. Over forty years in the arts have sharpened my skills in project management, editing, typesetting, publishing, and deadline-driven collaboration. I enjoy mentoring others, fundraising for art and environmental causes, and engaging with audiences at exhibitions and events. When not working, I tend to organic gardens and keep bees for neighbours.
