Welcome to Starfish Bay

Starfish Bay Children’s Books is an imprint of Starfish Bay Publishing Pty Ltd, which is an independent publishing house located in Adelaide, Australia. Starfish Bay is dedicated to creating quality picture books for children primarily aged 3 to 8. We hope to capture children’s imagination and maintain their interest with a thoughtful story.

We like to publish original works by both new and established authors. At Starfish Bay, books are published through the traditional process. After a decision is made to take on a picture book, we acquire the rights of the book from the author and illustrator and Starfish Bay assumes all costs in the publication of the book. Authors receive an advance and royalties.

Established in 2014, Starfish Bay has since published 44 children’s picture books. All Starfish Bay books are distributed and sold in the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand through our sales agents and distributors. There are also plans to expand into Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, China, India, South Africa, and Europe, to maximise the audience of our books.
