We love stories for all ages, from picture books for infants, chapter books for new readers, and longer reads for older children aged 8-12 and Young Adult. We take a very personal approach with each of the titles we publish. Books for younger readers may well be the sort of story with the fewest words, but they are also some of the most challenging to write.
Visit our shop for examples of recent titles. Each has been designed sensitively and creatively to match the author’s unique voice. Stories for younger children are illustrated – while our in-house illustrator is very busy, opportunities are available for the right story. If you’d like to be considered for one of these opportunities, please read the guidelines below and then get in touch.
We want your original story to be the impactful and meaningful treasure for cosy bedtimes that you’ve always dreamed it would be.
What are we looking for?
Our children’s authors are committed and passionate about writing for their age group. They may not have been published before, but this in no way reflects upon the quality of their work and their commitment to their audience. We are proud to help authors find their feet as a new children’s author.
Length is important, and we are particularly keen to meet authors who familiar with the genre they are writing for. If you are writing for very young children and already have an illustrator working with you, please send your text as a Word document with a sample of the illustrations separately as jpegs.
Submissions which will require illustration by our in-house illustrator are welcome.
We will be able to provide maps and details for books for older children. The books we publish for older children and teens tend to feature magic, mystery or fairytales. We love stories which are unusual, and particularly those with a strong young voice.
We only publish children’s titles that we really love. A number of our titles are award-winners. We are friendly and approachable, and we could offer you the publishing contract you have been hoping for.
In short, please get in touch.
