Indie Books = Artistic Integrity Have you heard the news about internationally bestselling author Cornelia Funke? Cornelia is the celebrated author of Inkheart and 40 other books, many of which were first published in German, then translated to English and published here in the U.S. When Cornelia’s fantasy series about the Reckless brothers’ adventures was published in Germany, it was a huge hit. In fact, the third book in the series (our cover star, The Golden Yarn) received the best reviews of Cornelia’s career. When it came time to translate the series into English and publish it in the U.S., Cornelia’s publisher requested editorial changes that she wasn’t comfortable making. What did she do? She got the rights back and went indie, launching Breathing Books to publish the Reckless brothers’ adventures the way she wanted her U.S. fans to experience them. We’re proud of Cornelia standing up for her work. And we’re excited to have her as just one of our more than 3,100 independent publisher members. We invite you to explore the IBPA member titles in this catalog to discover what might resonate for you and your customers. You’ll find Cornelia’s adventures in Mirrorworld, and her young reader series Wild Chicks. You’ll also find the biography of 16 Jewish women who returned to Germany after WWII, a short story collection of not-so-merry Yuletide whimsy, a wake-up call on plastic pollution, a self-help book for those attracting and dating the wrong men, and a fanciful picture book about what would happen if kids played games with animals! There’s something here for everyone—another wonderful thing about independent publishing! With respect and appreciation for all you do,
