AUCKLAND & NEW YORK 23 APRIL 2010
INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS Oratia Media Ltd of Auckland, New Zealand and Blooming Twig Books of New York, USA, today signed a cooperation agreement that will greatly expand their respective reach and publishing capacity.
With immediate effect, Oratia Media will represent titles from Blooming Twig Books in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific. Blooming Twig Books will represent titles from Oratia’s Libro
International and Rock Your Life lists in the USA and Canada.
Both companies are to promote each other’s titles and will manage printing and distribution through
print-on-demand and offset printing arrangements.
Oratia Media managing director Peter Dowling and Blooming Twig Books operating manager Kent
Gustavson welcomed the announcement.
“Blooming Twig Books is an innovative young publisher that has many synergies with our publishing,
with us both committed to children’s books, self-help and general non-fiction,” Dowling said.
“Having guaranteed North American distribution is a major plus for our authors and we look forward
to working with Kent to maximise sales in bookstores as well as through Amazon and other online
retailers, and to taking Blooming Twig Books’ titles to market Down Under.”
Gustavson anticipates great interest for the Oratia Media titles in the American market: “I am excited
to have the chance to work with the diverse front and backlist that Oratia Media has to offer, and we
are looking forward to reaching a new market in New Zealand and Australia.”
