Our Projects
Here is a little more on our projects and what Noodle Juice is up to.
Curious words for clever kids…
We were delighted to be commissioned by Hachette Children’s Group to create a celebration of curious words. Have you ever wondered what an INDRI is, eaten a CLAPSHOT, grown a CLOUDBERRY or come across a COLUGO? With over 1000 wonderful words explained, as well as tips on tricky grammar, this was a pleasure to write. …
Under the sea, that’s where we want to be…
When I first met with one of our clients at LBF 2022, little did I know that two months later we would have committed to producing an exclusive ranges of Under The Sea books – almost 200 colour pages (including stickers and 20 spreads of search and find material) – in less than six months! …
We love dinosaurs!
We’re delighted to share the news that we’re working with the Natural History Museum to create a brand new dinosaur sticker book. It’s a privilege to be working with such a world-famous institution and to be given such a fun task at the same time. We’re on a short timescale, but that’s what Noodle Juice …
Aspirational career activity books!
These creative sticker activity books were a joy to work on with illustrator, Nancy Leschnikoff. We started off in our respective wheelhouses with I Want To Be A Fashion Designer and I Want To Be An Interior Designer. The next two titles were a little more challenging. As Nancy got to grips with cars for …
Look! We do adult books too!
Delighted to work with illustrator Jade Orlando on creating these really funny (even if I do say so myself) books that share the secrets of our loyal canine companions and our supercilious lords and masters aka dogs and cats. Channelling both Chewie and Solo whilst writing the text was simply the best way to make …
Noodle Juice Phase 3
For the last six months, we have mainly been making stickers – lots of them! Over two thousand of them to be precise – and it’s certainly given us a new-found respect for the tireless artworkers and designers all over the world creating cutter guides and bleeds to make sure that children can indulge their …
Our First Noodle Juice Publication…
Excitingly, our first actual proper publication – where Noodle Juice is a publisher, and not a packager – is releasing in the UK on Thursday May 6th! Okay, it happens to be written by one of the members of the Noodle Fuel team, but still, it’s very cool to see our logo on the spine …
Hindsight is 2020
Alan was introduced to me by Dulcie Swanston. All she told me was that Alan had written some poems and wanted to publish a book to raise money for charity. Oh, and she said he was a fellow Yorkshireman who had grown up in Bradford and spoke our language. What she didn’t tell me was …
Hamish’s Heyday
We really enjoyed helping Olivia Parker (author) from Storyteller Marketing and her sister Elizabeth (illustrator) from Hello Pea and Me develop their story and illustrations into a gorgeous picture book soon to be published by The Endless Bookcase. Not least because Olivia is based in Harrogate, where I grew up! Working together with Olivia on …
Noodle Juice Phase 2
Excited to share some more of the books we have created for Little Tiger! Our baking book, Sheep Can’t Bake, was a huge project as it involved photo shoots, endless washing up and the most amazing illustrations from Mr Griff. There is a partner cookery book to come featuring Llama, too. It’s also wonderful to …
Charity book from concept to in-store in 3 months!
Noodle Fuel was delighted to partner with author Stacey Turner, and the charity Children’s Air Ambulance, to create a children’s book about the amazing work done by the charity. Working closely with the author, Stacey, and illustrator, Claire Spake, to provide editorial support, as well as design and consultancy services, we pushed hard to ensure …
Noodle Juice Phase 1 complete!
Here are just some of the books we’ve delivered to the Little Tiger Group in our first six months of trading! From board books to mindful activity journals, as well as non-fiction with a twist, we are delighted to have created these fabulous books. If you would like Noodle Juice to work on a project …
It’s Not Rocket Science Playing Cards
These cards came about due to the Covid 19 epidemic. Dulcie and I both had jobs that, like a lot of people’s jobs, came to a bit of an abrupt standstill with the Covid 19 lockdown and we wanted to come up with something to help families with these challenging times. We had memories of …
It’s Not Bloody Rocket Science Books
It’s Publishing, but not as we know it…. Dulcie Swanston says “When I wrote It’s Not Bloody Rocket Science I knew that “self-publishing” was not the right option for me because I needed a professional product, ISBN and proper distribution lines. However, the conventional publishing house model didn’t make commercial sense either. Sarah created a …
