New Generation Publishing, a leading UK self-publishing service dedicated to helping writers to sell their books, has launched ‘The Next Generation’ – a new imprint focusing solely on self-publishing children’s books.

‘The Next Generation’ has been launched after New Generation experienced a significant rise in enquiries from writers looking to self-publish books targeted at the children’s book markets. The Next Generation offering will include affiliations with highly qualified illustrators who are vastly experienced within the children’s publishing industry. Talks are also underway to form partnerships with marketing and PR firms who are also specialists within this field.

A dedicated team is in place to ensure authors will have a designated point of contact before, during and after the publishing of their titles. Authors will also benefit from New Generation’s extensive international distribution channels and have access to a free marketing support service. In addition, all pricing is committed to being in-line with that of traditional publishers to help authors achieve more sales.

New Generation Publishing was created in 2009 as part of award-winning independent book publisher Legend Press. New Generation became a company in its own right in 2011, offering an increased management, marketing and promotional team. The company has grown year-on-year since its inception.

Daniel Cooke, Managing Director of New Generation Publishing, commented:

“The number of enquiries from people who are writing, or have written, children’s books has gone through the roof in the past six to twelve months, and it made perfect sense to open up a dedicated imprint for this growing area of self-publishing.

“Writing and producing a children’s book is a great challenge and those writers looking to self-publish in this area need to be aware of the specific challenges they will face. Finding good professional illustrators and embarking upon successful marketing, pricing strategies and securing the right distribution channels are all key to any success.

“We feel that the launch of ‘The Next Generation’ can add real value for writers looking for a specialist, dedicated support network which has a strong understanding of both the traditional and self-published children’s book market.”
