It's A Win For Beatnik!

We have some exciting news to share. In a live ceremony from Bologna, Italy, earlier this week, Beatnik was announced the winner of the Bologna Prize, Best Children’s Publishers of the Year, Oceania.

The prize, organised by the Bologna Children's Book Fair and the Italian Publishers Association in partnership with the International Publishers Association, awards those publishers who have most distinguished themselves for their professional and intellectual skills in each of the six areas of the world: Africa, Asia, Europe, Central and South America, North America and Oceania. This annual award acknowledges the best publishing houses from all over the world, so Beatnik is thrilled to have won this prestigious international award!

Beatnik is indebted to the children’s book authors who have trusted us to publish their books. Authors represented at Bologna include the sensational Laura Shallcrass, Dana Winter, Ross Murray, Emily Joe, Louise Cuckow, Toby Morris, Kat Patrick and Lauren Marriott.

During these difficult times it's lovely to be able to stop and take a moment to celebrate and acknowledge those that have supported us over the last 15 years. So THANK YOU and have a lovely weekend.

Ngā mihi,
From Sally and the rest of the Beatniks.
