Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of a Publisher

Ever wondered what goes on before a beautiful storybook reaches your child’s hands? At first glance, publishing might seem like a quiet world of books and papers. But behind every colourful cover lies a day filled with creativity, collaboration, and countless cups of chai!

The Day Begins with Ideas

Every morning starts with imagination. Editors and writers gather around a table - or sometimes a video call - to discuss new stories, activity book themes, or ways to make learning more fun. It’s where ideas take their first breath. One minute, it’s just a spark - the next, it’s a plan for a new moral storybook or a handwriting series for little learners.

Words, Colours, and Creativity

Once an idea is approved, the real magic begins. Writers pour their hearts into stories that make children smile and think. Illustrators splash colours, characters, and life onto the pages. Each page is carefully designed - not just to look good, but to teach, inspire, and spark curiosity.

As one of our editors often says, “A good children’s book should make a child’s eyes light up and a parent’s heart feel proud.”

From Files to Fresh Pages

After rounds of proofreading, designing, and reviewing, the manuscript finally heads to print. The smell of freshly printed books is pure joy - a reminder that all those ideas have turned into something real, ready to reach tiny hands and big imaginations.

The Reward

By the end of the day, when a child smiles while reading a BPI book, it feels like the circle is complete. Because publishing isn’t just about making books - it’s about building childhoods, one page at a time.
