Who We Are.
We started Bear With Us Productions with one simple mission:
To help new authors publish the best possible children’s book — without breaking the bank, and while keeping 100% of their rights and royalties.
Fast forward to today:
-
We’ve helped hundreds of authors and publishing companies worldwide.
-
Our books are stocked in Waterstones and even read by British royalty.
-
Our illustrators and designers have won international awards.
And through it all, our ethos hasn’t changed: real artistry, real people, and real heart behind every book.
How It All Started
Bear With Us began with two friends (Andy, the writer, and Richie, the designer), frustrated by how indie authors were being treated. Andy wanted to publish his own stories, but publishers wanted rights, royalties, and big fees for underwhelming results.
So, we created a better way.
We built Bear With Us to give authors a fairer, more personal, and more creative path to publication. Today, we’ve helped over 1,000 authors around the world — from first-time parents to teachers and indie storytellers. Many have won major awards. Fun fact: One even had their book read by the royal family.
