I'd really love to find a shiny new gem of an author before the end of the year, please! Nothing gives me a thrill like that just-found-something feeling and I miss it. Open to almost everything but I'm particularly looking for the following:


HUGE congratulations to all our clients - and big up @theoblue_jpg and @LanishaNicole14 and Hoang Giang for their inclusion on the illustration medal list!

We are so proud to have SIX of our books nominated for the Carnegies! Congratulations to all of our brilliant creators, partners and teams 🎉
