Templar Publishing is a leading UK children's publisher. Templar is part of the Bonnier Group and was acquired by Bonnier in September 2008. Templar employs 38 people and is based in Dorking in Surrey.
Founded in 1978, Templar has become one of the world's most respected publishers and packagers of illustrated children's fiction, novelty and picture books. In 2008 Templar was recognised by the Independent Publisher's Guild as UK Children's Publisher of the Year and Independent Publisher of the Year.
We have an extensive backlist built over 30 years and sell our products in over 25 languages in more than 50 countries. We have a reputation for innovation and creativity, both in publishing ourselves and in producing books for other companies.
We are probably best known for the ground-breaking Ology series, which first launched in 2003 with Dragonology, and has become a global brand with seven core titles in print and over 15 million copies sold to date. There is a substantial licensing programme around the Ology series that includes board games, toys, computer games and a movie. However, Ology books are just a fraction of the business that includes award-winning picture books by Simon Bartram, Emma Dodd and Thomas Docherty, as well as our best-selling series, amazing baby and Happy Snappy books, and beautiful illustrated classics including the Robert Ingpen books Wind in the Willows and Christmas Carol.
