cover + interior design + production + photos

The design brief for this biennial literary anthology requires that a plane tree be featured on the cover. Offshoots takes its name from the new growth that sprouts each spring from the heavily-pruned branches of these Sycamores that have been planted all over Geneva. Additionally, the underlying theme for this edition was for it to feel like a gift from Geneva, prompting the use of emblematic images of the city.

“Sue has succeeded again in creating a stunning new cover. The contemporary design, with the black and white photos of Geneva overlaid on the massive plane tree, catches both the attention and the imagination. To match the cover, the stories and poems are showcased with bold photos, juxtaposing the different voices. The entire design is a celebration of creativity. A chef d'oeuvre.” Susan Tiberghien, Director, Geneva Writers’ Group, and author of One Year to a Writing Life
