Not the final version but I really wanted to share the cover of this book, coming soon.
It's an early reader, 5k word count with about a dozen full colour illustrations.
Theme of inclusion, all colours are important to make up the picture.

Just arrived. "The Colours of Greenscombe Wood" bridges the gap between picture books and chapter books. Still plenty of vibrant colour illustrations but a lot more words.
#Booksky #Kidlit #PublishingUK
Fresh out of the box. A kingfisher against a brightly coloured background on the front cover of the book. A spread of the book showing text and an illustration of autumnal trees. Back cover of the book shows a butterfly on a psychedelic background. It reads, "Percy, the rather arrogant kingfisher, is faced with choosing which colour the woodland can do without." Page 1 with Percy inset with the text.

A Spring Marrying by Jon Rosebank
"... bursting with nerve and verve," @angelagraham.bsky.social
bluepoppypublishing.co.uk/product/a-sp...

#PublishingUK #DevonUK #BookSky #Fishing
Front cover of "A Spring Marrying" by Jon Rosebank. It shows a hardworking Brixham fisherman looking whistfully into the middle distance with shadowy fishing smacks in the misty harbour in the background. In the foreground, a reef knot emphasises the nuatical theme. Additional text is a quote from a review by Angela Graham, author of "A City Burning" which says, "...bursting with nerve and verve,. A historical novel that brings the past alive in human terms and in striking depth. Back cover of A Spring Marrying by Jon Rosebank. Text reads, "Jimmy Blackbridge is a deckhand, sailing trawlers out of Brixham, Devon 1912-1914. He is engaged to Alice Rogers. At sea, time and tide are the masters and you know your bearings. But on shore Jimmy discovers he is adrift. There is no almanac for the currents that run through the town and if you run foul they break you. This is the story of loss, love, and the struggle to earn a living in the coming shadow of the Great War."

I'm having a chat to someone who wants to get into editorial in children's books, preferably picture books but also early readers/chapter books. Basically younger kids, lots of pictures. I've been out of the biz for 5 years...any tips from anyone with more recent experience? #KidLitUK #PublishingUK

Sketch of the Edinburgh protest against the Supreme Court's transphobic ruling in late April 2025. A crowd of people with protest signs and trans, non-binary and intersex flags walk beside the Scott Monument. The zine title reads "STAND FAST: NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US". Extra text also reads "A ZINE FOR THE TRANS+ COMMUNITY. EDITOR - AVERIE WATSON. COVER IMAGE - AVERIE WATSON".
