I’m delighted to say that a brand new paperback edition of Satin, my picture book with the wonderful illustrator Lorena Carrington, will be out in bookshops on March 1.
Satin, which was first published in hardback by MidnightSun Publishing in 2023, was awarded a Notable Books listing by the Children’s Book Council of Australia in 2024. And the paperback edition proudly features that badge of honour!

Great cover Sophie. Re-issuing is the way to go. I’m also at the stage of re-evaluating some earlier work which is definitely worth publishing in newer formats. Amba Press has been great with my educational scripts. But like you, I’m looking to screen for others. Have current interest in YA ‘Wasted?’, but with a big backlist it takes a while to work through the rights etc And be ruthless about the ones which haven;t endured. Conscious that we have done a lot of work that has gone nowhere , but also so unexpected ones have moved into new opportunities.
You inspire me, and others Sophie. Keep going

Thanks so much, Hazel! Yes, it often is a lot of work–but always worth doing.
