New Irish Children's Imprint, Little Island, Launches

February 9, 2010 – 10:42 am

Tom O'Neill, Old FriendsNew Island has launched a new imprint, Little Island, which will publish books for the children and teenage markets. The official launch takes place on 18 March 2010.

Children’s author Siobhán Parkinson is the Publisher and Commissioning Editor of the imprint, which will publish six books in 2010.

The imprint’s list includes two German authors, Burkard Spinnen and Renate Ahrens, who will be published in English for the first time (is it their first time ever being published in English or just these two books).

It also includes two classic Irish fiction titles from Maeve Friel and Mark O’Sullivan and two newly-commissioned books from Jean Flitcroft and Tom O’Neil.

New Island has experienced a 7% drop in its Arts Council funding, which fell from €115,000 in 2009 to €107,000 in 2010.
