Who We Are
Mermaid Cove Productions and Publishing is a creative art studio and independent, hybrid publisher founded by husband-and-wife team, Scott and Angela Clawson. Having always worked as a team, their collaboration at Mermaid Cove is no exception. Together they have owned several businesses, raised a family, and traveled the world. Their experience, honesty, and values give artists and authors the confidence they seek.
The team wouldn’t be complete without Helena Crevel and Rachel Clawson. Helena joined Mermaid Cove as the in-house illustrator and Rachel as graphic designer. Both are talented women, bringing years of artistic and graphic experience to Mermaid Cove.
