ELK Publishing

Specialties

ELK Publishing is an Australian grown, independent publishing house of Children’s and Educational Literature. It strives to provide families, schools and teachers with direct access to unique and exceptional quality in children’s literature at affordable prices.

It avidly promotes ‘Literacy Starts at Home’, ‘Author In-​School’ visits and ‘Gift a Book’ — which aim to encourage greater enjoyment, participation and enhanced interest in reading and literary pursuits. It aims to ‘stamp out illiteracy’ across nations; pursues the development of boys’ literature and aims to improve literacy rates from an early age.

ELK Publishing aims to provide alternate, affordable fundraising opportunities for schools to grow their book collections. It is the official publishing press for Australian Children’s Author — ‘Sketa’.

ELK Publishing offers a growing array of children’s novels; short stories, illustrated books for young and intermediate readers, children’s series books, progressive English readers, teacher display books and educational resources. This is a work in progress and like anything good, it takes time to build our array of products.
