Launched in late 2010, Duck Creek Press is the specialist children’s picture book imprint of David Ling Publishing Limited. The growing list has already received a number of awards and shortlistings, and rights to nearly half the list have been sold to a number of countries for publication overseas.
David Ling was a director of educational and general multinational publishing companies where he worked for nearly twenty years before establishing David Ling Publishing in 1992. An active member and former long-time councillor of the Publishers Association of New Zealand (PANZ), he was awarded Honorary Life Membership in 2011 for his services. In 2019 he received a Queen's Honour for services to the publishing industry.
“David Ling is a publisher of rare integrity, range and innovation and his Duck Creek imprint has contributed significantly to the general upswing in New Zealand picture book publishing. Production values are notably high, while his authors and illustrators represent a judicious mix of established names and exciting newcomers. I’m looking forward to more delightful picture books from this experienced and committed publisher.”
