Types of Publishing

Children's Book Publishing

Children's book publishing is a lively and growing sector of consumer book publishing. It has grown exponentially year upon year since 2009 and continues to expand. Companies such as HarperCollins Children’s Books are respected worldwide for their tradition of publishing innovative. entertaining and award winning books that excite and capture the imagination of young readers.


The division is recognised for nurturing new talent as well as publishing a highly regarded list of established best-selling authors. Its publishing includes timeless classics like The Chronicles of Narnia, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Hobbit, as well as perennial family favourites like The Gruffallo and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. 




Many of the most successful authors, such as Dr. Seuss and Roald Dhal have a distinctive writing style which grabs the attention of the children and this style is carried over into the visuals. The Images reflect the tone of the story and often an author will use the same illustrator over and over again as they are good at conveying the feel the author was going for. This is paricularly true if they have a successful partnership such as Roald Dhal and Quentin Blake.
