Walden Pond Press, established in 2008, is the co-publishing venture of film production company Walden Media and book publisher HarperCollins.[1] The venture operates as an imprint of HarperCollins Children's Books and its logo, a skipping stone on Walden Pond, is derivative of the Walden Media logo.

Background

Walden Pond Press publishes 'middle-grade classics'.[2] For example, Root Magic (published January 2021) by author Eden Royce,[3] and The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy (published October 2021) by author Anne Ursu,[4] are both in development by Walden Media.

Audience

Walden Pond Press publishes a small, targeted list of middle grade book titles every year. Notable titles include Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce (2010); The Fourth Stall by Chris Rylander (2011); Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu (2011); The Hero’s Guide series by Christopher Healy (2012-2015); Ms. Bixby’s Last Day by John David Anderson (2016); National Book Award Longlist winners The Real Boy by Anne Ursu (2013) and Orphan Island by Laurel Snyder (2017); A Boy Called Bat and sequels by Elana K. Arnold (2017-2020); York: The Shadow Cipher and sequels by Laura Ruby (2019-2021); Love Sugar Magic and sequels by Anna Meriano (2018-2020); and A Perilous Journey of Danger & Mayhem: The Dastardly Plot and sequels by Christopher Healy (2018-2020), among others.

Prior partnership

Walden Pond Press is Walden Media’s second co-publishing venture with a major US publishing house. From 2004 to 2008 Walden Media worked across all imprints at Penguin Young Readers Group, publishing the Newbery Honor-winning[5] Savvy by first-time author Ingrid Law (Dial/Walden Media), Mike Lupica’s The Comeback Kids series (Philomel/Walden Media), Lauren St. John’s The White Giraffe series (Dial/Walden Media), and Michael Reisman’s Simon Bloom series (Dutton/Walden Media), among other titles.[6][7]
