05.03.09 | Catherine Neilan

Walker Books is taking on the sales representation within the UK and Ireland for WingedChariot Press, which specialises in children's translated picture books.

The partnership kicks off this month and aims to extend the reach of WingedChariot's list. The publishers said the "two-way partnership" was "a perfect fit for both parties".

Neal Hoskins, publisher of WingedChariot, said the alliance was "a great step for us". He added: "We have always admired Walker Books for their craft and choice of ground-breaking stories as well their careful eye when it comes to production and fine bookmaking . . . We know that by working with Walker, we can give these books the chance to be seen and enjoyed by more and more readers."

Jane Harris, sales director at Walker, added: "WingedChariot Press produce some of the most innovative children's books in translation from all around the world.

"We are delighted to be representing their sales in the UK and Ireland, and to be a part of delivering these unique and beautiful books to a wider audience. We look forward to working together and developing this mutually beneficial relationship."
