Your Path to Publishing a Quality Children's Picture Book
Not a day goes by that we don't receive enquiries about children's book publishing. We've heard your requests, and we're thrilled to announce our newest imprint: Amba Children's Publishing.
A Specialised Offering for Children's Authors
Amba Children's is our dedicated imprint designed specifically for Amba Press author-educators who want to bring their children's stories to life. This exciting new offering will provide the same high-quality production and distribution that Amba Press is known for, but with specialised project management tailored to the unique requirements of children's picture book publishing.
Led by the amazing Brooke Lyons who will personally guide each project, Amba Children's will help you navigate the challenges of creating an engaging, visually appealing picture book for young readers.
Self-Publishing with Professional Support
Amba Children's operates on a self-publishing model, where you pay the costs for the production of your book and retain all the sales revenue. You'll benefit from our combined 40-plus years' publishing experience, our professional production process and our expertise and support every step of the way.
Children's books require special attention to detail in editing, illustration, design and formatting. Our team will ensure your vision is realised with the highest production standards while we handle all the complex publishing process to bring your dream to life.
What We Offer
Our comprehensive services include:
- Expert project management from concept to completion
- Coordination with professional, experienced book illustrators
- Professional editing and proofreading
- Cover and interior design, and typesetting
- ISBN registration and National Library cataloguing
- Printing (both hardback and paperback available) via a local Australian printer
- Marketing support materials
Growing with You
Depending on the interest and number of titles we publish, we have plans to expand this offering to include distribution to local bookshops and other retail channels. Our vision is to create a flourishing community of children's authors under the Amba umbrella, providing increasing opportunities as we grow together.
Ready to Discuss Your Project?
Every children's book project is unique, so rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages, we prefer to discuss your specific vision and requirements. This allows us to provide customised support and accurate costings based on your individual needs.
Whether you're looking to create an educational resource, share an important message, or simply tell a delightful story, we'd love to hear about your project.
Complete this form to take the first step towards bringing your story to young readers. We'll contact you to arrange a chat with Brooke and Alicia about your idea.
Amba Children's Publishing is currently open exclusively to author-educators who have previously published with Amba Press. Places are limited so we can ensure each author is given the time and care needed to ensure a high-quality product and experience.
