As regular visitors to this blog will have noticed, we often post previews of our print titles ahead of publication – you can see the first few spreads for all of our picture books and read the first chapter of all our fiction titles for free on each book’s web page. We use issuu to power this service, which provides a nice reading experience and is great for keeping track of all our titles and allowing other people to post each preview on their own website. The platform is now also available (in beta mode) on the iOS Safari browser for the iPhone and iPad, so that even more people can read our previews. And today I was very pleased to see we’ve almost hit 100,000 total views across our library, which, as any fan of large, round numbers will appreciate, I found incredibly exciting.
We’re really pleased so many people are reading these previews – so we thought we’d share some of our upcoming titles. Here are a few great picture books that we’re publishing over the next couple of months:
Next month we’re publishing Books Always Everywhere, written by Jane Blatt and illustrated by Sarah Massini:
In April, we’re publishing Weasels, the hilarious picture book debut by Elys Dolan:
In May, we’re publishing Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam, written by Tracey Corderoy and illustrated by Steven Lenton:
