Murray David Publishing was established in 1997 as a result of the merger between the companies owned by Marion Child and David Jenkins. Marion and David have more than 70 years of experience in all aspects of the general book publishing industry in Australia and overseas. David Forsythe, a chartered accountant with many years of experience in publishing and other industries recently joined the business and established M2D Publishing Pty Ltd, of which Marion Child, David Jenkins and David Forsythe are principal owners. This new umbrella company was formed to drive the local and international development of Murray David Publishing.
Murray David Publishing’s comprehensive general publishing list specialises in children’s books and general non-fiction; including gardening, cookery, wine, history, Australian poetry and folklore, flora, fauna, travel and dramatic pictorial
Australiana for the domestic, international and tourist markets. It also includes a large range of themed address, birthday, family history and note books, as well as cards, gift boxes, gift bags, wrapping paper, and stationery.
Leading the children’s range is the brand new collection of MAY GIBBS titles. Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, Little Obelia and Little Ragged Blossom, head a rapidly growing list of these favourite and perennial children’s character titles—all in FULL COLOUR. There are picture books, birthday and address books, ABC, 123, Nursery Rhymes and Poems, colouring books, cards and a host of new titles to be added in the coming months and years.

Murray David Publishing also sees huge potential in the market for well-written and illustrated Australian history books for upper primary and lower high school grades and has developed a range which will ultimately comprise 75 titles to fill the current gap in the market place. The books are all good quality and low priced so that young students have the opportunity
of using a copy for study and one for school projects.
With very specialist publishing skills, Murray David Publishing is also able to produce books on a contract basis to
interested potential clients.
Murray David Publishing has an ongoing commitment to publish books of the highest quality, always with great market appeal.
