NEW YORK MEDIA WORKS LAUNCHES BOUTIQUE PUBLISHING IMPRINT
First Title “Bubblegum Princess” inspired by Duchess Kate Middleton & Prince William
New York, NY, July 9, 2013 – Tribeca based New York Media Works, LLC works with artists & filmmakers from around the world to create inspiring and entertaining stories for audiences of all ages. This month the media company expands operations beyond the film & television industry to produce children’s literature.
New York Media Works’ first book, Bubblegum Princess is inspired by Duchess Kate Middleton & Prince Williams’ fairytale romance, and a real-life gum-chewing incident at the Prince’s Sandhurst passing-out ceremony in 2006. Bubblegum Princess will be released the day Prince William & Duchess Kate’s “Baby Cambridge” is born.
Bubblegum Princess author, Julie Gribble, celebrates a lively, intelligent, and strong-willed heroine; her Katy is not your typical “princess.” The full color Bubblegum Princess, illustrated by Lori Hanson takes readers on an adventure filled with royals, the queen’s favorite dogs – corgis, and tons of bubblegum.
Throughout the year New York Media Works will produce special events to celebrate the publication of the book, and Baby Cambridge’s birth. In addition to events held in New York City, Ms Gribble plans to donate copies of Bubblegum Princess to charities in the United States, and abroad. Bubblegum Princess retails for $16.99 on Amazon.com.
