About the imprint

Independent publishing without putting every idea in the same box.

Wonky Pencil was created as an umbrella for original projects that do not all look alike — but share the same aim of giving readers something clear, engaging and worth their time.

What we publish

Imagination on one shelf. Experience on another.

Wonky Pencil currently spans children's picture books, YA science fiction and professional transport publishing. Each range has its own audience, tone and dedicated presence, while the publishing work sits under one independent imprint.

That means Bailey & Dave can stay playful and child-friendly, Alderwick can build its own mysterious world, and HGV Driving Explained can present itself professionally to drivers, training providers and industry partners.

For readers

Original stories, characters and worlds with a strong sense of identity.

For professionals

Practical resources developed around real jobs, real questions and real working experience.

For partners

Clear routes for sponsorship, funded copies, training support, bulk supply and collaborative projects.
