Jean Harrington, Managing Director at Maverick House and President of Publishing Ireland is to launch a new Children’s imprint, Páistí Press.

Unlike Maverick’s recently launched Book Republic, Páistí Press will be a traditional press.

According to Harrington Páistí Press ‘will publish Irish language children’s books, although I would consider the occasional English language book.’

Páistí Press is seeking authors and illustrators at the moment and Harrington says she has some titles already lined up.

Harrington plans to launch the imprint early in 2010. The name comes from the Irish for children.
