The Complete Works is an independent children’s publishing company creating commercial, market-focused fiction and non-fiction children’s books for publishers around the world.
Publishers may come to us with an existing concept, visuals, or creative direction, or with a brief – sometimes no more than a couple of lines. From there, we take responsibility for developing the project into a finished book, or series, working closely with the publisher throughout the entire process.
We build each project from the ground up – shaping and refining the concept, commissioning and briefing writers and illustrators, designing and art-directing the book, managing the creative workflow and delivering fully finished, print-ready files. Where required, we also produce supporting sales and presentation material.
Publishers are kept fully involved at every stage. Scripts, pencils, final illustrations and proofed layouts are all shared for review and sign off, ensuring complete creative oversight and confidence at each step.
Led by Michael Phipps, a children’s publishing professional with over 30 years’ experience, The Complete Works brings together editorial, writing and design expertise with strong creative judgement, ensuring ideas are engaging, clearly structured and professionally executed.
Our experience covers preschool through to YA and spans fiction and non-fiction formats including board books, picture books, activity and colouring, novelty formats, comics, reference, licensed publishing and audio.
What sets us apart is our publisher mindset. Every project is developed with a clear understanding of how books are commissioned, scheduled, sold and taken to market internationally. We focus on clarity, efficiency and ideas that work across territories – not just creatively, but commercially, too.
We have built and led successful publishing programmes, commissioned profitable lists, worked closely with licensors and creative teams, and understand exactly what publishers need to move smoothly from an initial idea to a finished, saleable product. Strong project management sits at the heart of everything we do – we work quickly, communicate clearly and consistently deliver to agreed schedules.
Whether you need help bringing an existing idea to life, developing a brief into a complete book, or creating a fully formed series ready to take to market, The Complete Works is a trusted creative partner that makes the book-making process simpler, faster and more reliable.
