We are starting today with some very exciting news! Our founder Lela Burbridge is shortlisted for a First Chapter Award! Organised by the Society of Young Publishers ,The First Chapter Awards recognise early-stage professionals, volunteers, and hopefuls within the book community. This award aims to celebrate those in the first five years in the industry - and crucially seeks to involve those from different roles within the book ecosystem, from librarians to content creators, aspiring publishers to booksellers. Lela works tirelessly to not only support UK based authors and illustrators, but to also build community libraries in Uganda. She is already a winner in our eyes!! #publishing #publishingawards #publishinghouse #firstchapterawards #societyofyoungpublishers #publishinghouse

We were a little quiet on our social media in January but that doesn't mean we weren't very busy! One of the projects keeping us on our toes was this... getting Chameleon's Colour Quest ready to go to print. We are very pleased to say that it is now on its way and we can't wait to share Sarah Hutchinson-Jarman's new story with you. #Bookpublishing #childrensbooks #picturebooks #bookskidslove #publishing
