About Strident Publishing

Strident was founded in 2005. In early 2006 its first two titles - Lee and the Consul Mutants and Lee Goes For Gold - claimed the no.1 and no.4 slots respectively in the Children’s Best Sellers chart published by The Herald.

The Strident editorial team is actively developing a list of further titles and welcomes submissions by authors and agents. View our submissions page for details.

Strident aims to produce books with a bit of spark; books that give young people a kick out of reading. They will be bold and modern and will cry out to be read and discussed.
