Bring Your Children's Book to Life

Start by sending us your manuscript, or even a rough idea. We read it, talk through your goals, and map a clear path from editing and illustration to design, printing, and distribution. You stay involved at every step and keep full ownership of your book. The whole process is built to feel guided rather than overwhelming, especially if this is your first book.

Yes. You keep your copyright, your characters, and 100% of the royalties paid by retail platforms. We charge clear, flat fees for the work we do, such as editing, illustration, and design, and we never take an ongoing cut of your sales. Your book stays yours, for good.

We publish picture books for the very young, early readers, and middle grade chapter books for confident readers. We work across fiction and nonfiction, rhyme and prose, gentle bedtime stories and laugh out loud adventures. If it is written for children, there is a good chance it is a fit.

Absolutely, and most of the authors we work with are publishing for the first time. We explain each stage in plain language, handle the technical parts, and guide the creative decisions with you. You do not need any publishing experience to end up with a book you are proud of.

A typical picture book takes around four to seven months from an accepted manuscript to launch day. The biggest factor is illustration, since original art takes time to develop properly. Chapter books and nonfiction can move faster. We give you a realistic timeline at the start, so there are no surprises.

It depends on what your book needs. A full path with editing, illustration, design, and distribution is a larger investment than a single service like formatting. We price each project around the actual work involved rather than a one size fits all package. The first consultation is free and comes with an honest breakdown.

Yes. We set up distribution so your book is orderable in print and ebook through major retailers, and available to bookshops, schools, and libraries. Your story can reach readers across Australia and in more than 40 countries, depending on the plan you choose.

We have illustrators in house and match you with an artist whose style suits your story and your reader's age. You see early sketches and guide the look before any final art begins. If you already have an illustrator you love, we are happy to work with them too.

We are an independent Australian press that has been doing this since 2022, and we take on only a handful of books each season. That means real attention from the people actually doing the work, full creative control for you, and 100% of your royalties. We treat every manuscript like it is our own.

Yes, the first consultation is genuinely free and there is no pressure. Tell us about your book using the quick form, or send your manuscript, and we will come back with friendly, practical next steps. You decide if and when you want to move forward.
