The surprising growth of Claddagh Ltd. Publishing House has generated a need for additional imprints. Publisher, Cathy Paris has added the following imprints in response to the company's recent growth:
Claddagh Kids - children's book line (fiction and nonfiction)
Claddagh Fiction - new fiction division
Claddagh Young Adults - teen books (fiction and nonfiction)
The company's original imprint Claddagh Ltd. is reserved for nonfiction books. Why the additional imprints? Publishing houses traditionally use imprints to identify a specific line of books. When asked if the services would be any different, Paris responded by saying "Absolutely not. All of our authors will continue to receive the same professional assistance and high quality book production as they have in the past. The creation of imprints and the new divisions within the company will enhance our authors' experiences. New division supervisors are qualified professionals who will bring their expertise to the company and pass along their knowledge and experience in the form of better customer service."
Paris went on to add "Claddagh Ltd. Publishing House has several new and exciting changes coming this fall. We are adding several new programs which are specifically designed to add to our authors' experiences while promoting their books and their expertise. We feel that these programs will help propel our authors to the head of the literary community. Our top priority is to produce quality books while helping our authors succeed."
When asked to go into further detail, Paris smiled and said "All I can say at this time is that its worth the wait. We will be announcing our programs in just a few weeks."

Claddagh never uses old growth forest paper for production; they maintain a digital warehouse instead of a energy dependent, climate controlled warehouse; a high percentage of their staff telecommutes;
