Rily Publications is a privately owned, family-run publishing house, created when husband and wife team Richard and Lynda Tunnicliffe started publishing Welsh language versions of popular books as a hobby in 2001.

Since then they have steadily grown their range of Welsh children's titles. We are Welsh language learners, based in South Wales. We are advocates of bilingual children's books as it helps us read to our children in Welsh and also follow the storyline at the same time. We are constantly updating our range of books and love to hear feedback from our readers.

We welcome submissions

A large number of Rily’s titles are adaptations of existing books, however we do have a small allocation of original content every year. We rely on the Books Council of Wales to contribute towards funding for these projects, and the process is very competitive. However, we welcome applications from authors, illustrators and designers of all backgrounds, including non-Welsh speakers. If you have a great story to tell, or an artistic talent to share, we encourage you to get in touch.
