Children's Books

The production of children's books presents a unique set of challenges. The quality of the typography is all-important: good character fit, an even word-spacing and appropriate hyphenation are all critical in books aimed at younger readers. Palimpsest is sensitive to these requirements, and as such has built an excellent working relationship with many of the UK's leading publishers of children's books. From Jacqueline Wilson to Eoin Colfer to J.K. Rowling - Palimpsest have a wealth of experience in this sector.

We have the skill and experience to handle large-format, heavily illustrated colour picture books, text-based titles with both colour and black and white illustrations, and text-only fiction and non-fiction.

Similarly with school books - across a range of age groups and curriculum - we can provide a comprehensive pre-press service, including project management if required.
