About black dog books
black dog books publishes books for everybody, but especially for children. The sort of books kids will want to pick up and read — and pick up and read again.
We know books, we know authors, we know illustrators — and we know what children love to read. We’re passionate about giving children the right books, and fuelling their enthusiasm for reading.
The ‘black doggies’
- Andrew Kelly is the managing director at black dog. He has the messiest desk and his own blog.
- Maryann Ballantyne is the publishing director at black dog. She has an aversion to our online diary and avoids filling in forms at all costs.
- Karen Tayleur is the editorial manager at black dog. She can do everything, including reading Maryann’s thoughts
- Melissa Keil is an editor at black dog. She sometimes has blue cheese for dinner, nothing else.
- Kate Hewitt is black dog’s manager. Calm, cool and collected, Kate keeps us all together. Contact Kate to enquire about rights for black dog titles.
- Jess Tran is the production, sales and stock coordinator at black dog. She has a penchant for cool badges and sarcastic quips.
- Kristen Young is black dog’s publicist. She has made the long journey south from Sydney to whip up a storm of publicity in the kennel and is loving Melbourne. Contact Kristen if you are interested in more information about black dog books, if you need a review copy, posters, bookmarks or any other promotional material, or if you would like to organise an author visit to your school, library, conference or festival.
- Kevin Roughana is in charge of the black dog finances. He was once a ‘bad dog’, now he is a black dog, and moonlights in theatre wardrobe.
