In today’s media messaging from Welbeck in London, it’s reported that Booktopia has taken a 25-percent stake in the new Sydney-based business, as it extends its investment in publishing, following a recent integration of Brio Books earlier this year and the creation of Booktopia Editions in 2019.
Welbeck also has announced the creation of a local Australian and New Zealand publishing program devised to publish up to 50 titles per year. That new program is expected to publish fiction, narrative nonfiction, children’s books, and a small range of illustrated and gift titles.
