Donna Brooks has travelled the world learning about publishing and book promotion, but not just for her own success. Acutely aware of the stagnancy in the world of children’s books, Brooks has recently launched ‘Enchanted Pages Publishing’ to break all convention and give those who would otherwise remain unpublished an opportunity to release their spellbinding work to the world. The company currently has five stunningly-illustrated books under their brand, with an upcoming ten-part series and dozens of other titles in the works. Authors retain 100% of their rights and can use the Enchanted Pages platform to launch their careers for a fraction of traditional publishing costs.
Glendale Hts, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/10/2014 -- While many authors opt for a crash course in publishing and ultimately struggle to the point that they fall off the radar, Illinois’ Donna Brooks has quite literally travelled the world to learn how it is really done. Having seen huge success self-publishing her own books, Brooks is now on a mission to help other struggling children’s authors by launching her own and wholly-unique new publishing company.
The aptly-titled ‘Enchanted Pages Publishing’ replaces the traditional money-driven business model with one based on collective support and a genuine passion for helping great books get into the waiting hands of kids.
“We allow children’s book authors to get to market for a tiny fraction of what other companies charge, while retaining 100% control and 100% of their rights. Our passion is about giving these unknown authors an opportunity to make it big, rather than tripping them at the first hurdle with thousands of dollars of fees just to ‘get in’,” explains Brooks.
Continuing, “We accept submissions from around the world and judge all manuscripts on their ability to inflame the fire in kids’ hearts. We don’t look at an author’s financial resources, but instead what their stories can do to enquiring young minds around the world.”
The company currently has five books available, each a fusion of gripping story and bold illustrations provided by some of the most renowned artists in the industry. Their flagship title is ‘The Quest Through the Stars’, written by Brooks herself.
Synopsis:
The Quest Through the Stars is a children’s novella based on a little dragon named Flame, who is in search of his mother. This educational children’s book takes readers through the trials and tribulations the young dragon faces while on his journey through the constellations. There are creative references to the creation of Earth and the formation of the constellations and their relationship to one another. Flame’s journey through a wondrous and imaginative world is filled with friendly creatures that assist him in his search for his mother and his true identity. Children and parents alike will find the novella to be enlightening as well as engaging. The beautiful illustrations by award winning Kalpart has turned the book into an excellent visual feed. A must buy book that you will treasure for your child.
“Children can travel with Flame as he reaches the far depths of the universe in a narrative that is both enlightening and engaging. This particular book was illustrated by Kalpart, who brings the story to immersive life through vivid imagery that you can’t match in most other children’s books. It’s all a part of our commitment to putting the reading experience over and above profits,” Brooks explains.
The entire team at Enchanted Pages Publishing has a busy few years ahead.
“Aside from vetting submissions from authors around the world, we’re also about to release a ten-part series that I have written. The ten adventures feature fourteen precious puppies that will take children and their parents everywhere from the forest to the moon. I don’t want to say too much at this stage, but anything is pawssible!” she adds.
Enchanted Pages Publishing is currently accepting manuscripts from children’s book authors around the world.
