Red Paper Books

Work­ing on this puz­zle book right now. It’s really good fun, using the artist Beccy Blake again because I know I’ll she will do a great job. Hope­fully we can keep the bud­get down with thought­ful reuse of her illustrations.

It will be sold straight into out­lets like The Works. Funny how I used to sup­pose that if any of my books ended up some­where like that they had reached the end of their shelf-life. No offence.

Sto­ries of Other Worlds cover art­work: Adam Hunter Peck

Part of the Pen­guin Active Read­ers series for 2010, pub­lished by Pear­son Edu­ca­tion. Three short sto­ries by H.G. Wells: The Coun­try of the Blind, The Door in the Wall, The Young Ghost, illus­trated respec­tively by Adam Hunter Peck, Mike Lacey, and Jamel Akib. (more…)

This is a buy-in from an Aus­tralian pub­lisher. The orig­i­nal was in mono with incon­sis­tent typog­ra­phy. But the text was good, so rights were bought and we were asked to repack­age the book with Firecrest’s art­work to pro­duce new lay­outs. An Ein­stein bof­fin char­ac­ter is used to raise issues and medi­ate the learning.
