Australian publisher Rockpool Publishing hopes to make a “strategic splash” into the UK market with its spirituality and wellbeing list.

It has appointed The Book Publicist to manage its UK publicity as it expands into the market here. 

Paul Dennett, founder and owner of Rockpool, said: “Rockpool is leading the next generation of Mind Body Spirit publishers by pushing the boundaries of what it means to create new material for this new era in publishing. We are delighted to be represented by the awesome team at The Book Publicist and we know they will have fun with our new content that is making waves around the world.”

The Book Publicist will work on a wide range of titles over the next year, kicking off with The Art of Grieving by Corinne Laan and From Earth by Charlotte Rasmussen. 

Rockpool’s books are distributed throughout Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, South Africa, US and Canada. Simon & Schuster is handling the trade distribution in the UK. 

Ella Davidson, founder and director of The Book Publicist, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Paul and Lisa and the team at Rockpool. The quality of their books and content is fantastic and is a welcome addition to our portfolio of clients. We have lots of MBS expertise in the team and are very much looking forward to sharing their brilliant books.”
