Collaborate
Take a great idea and toss it around until it becomes even better. Work in a collaborative atmosphere throughout the publishing process. Winterlake Press brings together the talents, ideas and expertise of authors, illustrators, editors and designers, as well as our marketing and sales teams. Together, we work to create timeless picture books and novels for children, young adults and parents to read again and again.
Create
Take a story composed of words and characters that stands alone as a classic tale. Add eye-popping, dramatic, and provocative images that leap off the page, delighting and captivating the reader. Winterlake Press adds to this union of text and illustration the finest development, design and printing, so that each picture book and young adult novel is of the highest possible quality.
