Amazon Children's Publishing Launches Two New Imprints
January 22, 2013
Amazon Children's Publishing has launched two new imprints. Two Lions will specialize in works from the picture book, chapter book, and middle-grade fiction genres. Skyscape will specialize in young-adult books. Both imprints will publish titles from their inaugural lists starting in Spring 2013. Altogether, the publisher plans to release more than thirty new titles during that season.
"Titles on the inaugural Two Lions list include Gandhi: A March to the Sea by Alice B. McGinty, illustrated by Thomas Gonzalez, a biography written in free-verse; and Poco Loco, a debut picture book about a mouse inventor by J.R. Krause, illustrated by Maria Chua. Titles under the Skyscape umbrella include You Know What You Have to Do by Bonnie Shimko, about a 15-year-old girl who hears voices in her head telling her to kill people; and Reason to Breathe, the first book in the Breathing Series trilogy by Rebecca Donovan, an initially self-published title that had already earned a dedicated readership."
