Firefly Press

Set up in 2013, Firefly is one of the only dedicated children's publishers in Wales and publishes quality fiction in all genres for 5-19 years olds. We aim to publish books by great authors and illustrators wherever they are from. We launched our Dragonfly series for 7-10 year olds in May 2014 part-funded by the Welsh Books Council and set in contemporary Wales. Dragonfly stories are funny, fantastical, scary, exciting and full of adventure. In 2017 we received a three-year grant from Welsh Books Council. Many of our books are included in the 'best of children's and YA books' lists and listed for awards including Aubrey and the Terrible Yoot by Horatio Clare , which won the Branford Boase Award 2016 and Thimble Monkey Superstar by Jon Blake, which was shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud 2017 Book Awards.
