September 20, 2013 By achuka Leave a Comment

Octopus Books – a leading publisher of illustrated titles with imprints that include Hamlyn, Gaia Books, Mitchell Beazley and Miller’s (of the specialist antique price guides) – has announced that it is to develop a new children’s publishing division within the group:

Octopus publishing house is to form a new children’s and custom publishing division.
The new division will launch in October and include the Bounty and Ticktock imprints. It will bring together children’s and promotional publishing, putting “extra focus” on the lists in order to grow their sales, Octopus chief executive Alison Goff said.

June 11, 2013 By achuka Leave a Comment

Forty-five years after it was written, Ringo Starr’s song about wanting to "be under the sea / In an octopus’s garden in the shade" is to be turned into a children’s book.

Starr has given permission for his Beatles song Octopus’s Garden, which describes his wish to "ask my friends to come and see / An octopus’s garden with me", to be published as a picture book by Simon & Schuster.
