Walker Books Australia is dedicated to publishing quality books for children and young adults.
Renowned as a haven for the most highly talented authors and illustrators, as well as for the sheer inventiveness and quality of our publishing, Walker Books Australia is the leading children’s publisher in Australia and New Zealand. Whether it's a picture book for toddlers or a novel for teenagers, we set the standard of excellence.
Established in 1993, Walker Books Australia was, until recently, a sales and marketing office representing titles from our parent company, Walker Books (UK), our sister company, Candlewick Press (USA), and various agencies (including Frances Lincoln and Gullane Books).
While continuing to represent the considerable talent contained within these lists, Walker Books Australia has recently established a local publishing arm, enabling us to support local authors and illustrators in markets throughout the world.
