About black dog books

black dog books is an independent Australian publisher of books for children and young adults. We produce an award-winning list ranging from picture books to innovative non-fiction to pitch-perfect YA stories.

We're proud to publish titles by some of Australia's best loved authors and illustrators, including the Dragonkeeper series by Carole Wilkinson. Our outlook is unashamedly Australian, but our stories are universal.

black dog books: we're not a small dog, we're an independent dog.
