What do we publish?
If you look on our collections page, you'll see that we've arranged our books into 'themes'. These collections showcase what we really care about. If you have a story that fits into one of these collections, we'd love to hear from you.
We're currently looking for short picture book texts for 2-4 year olds (usually no more than 500 words and often a lot shorter), early reader series fiction for 5-8 year olds, and middle grade fiction for 9-12 year olds. We also accept non-fiction submissions.

Who do we want to hear from?
We aim to be as inclusive as possible so we particularly want to hear from authors and illustrators of BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) heritage, those who identify as LGBTQ+, those who have a disability, or anyone who grew up unable to see themselves in the books they read as a child.

What happens next?
We would love to respond to every submission we receive but unfortunately the volume is just too high. If your manuscript has caught our eye, we'll be in touch within 12 weeks to tell you the good news.
If you haven't heard from us by then, please assume we aren't able to take your story through to publication.
We value every submission. Good luck!
