Submissions

HOW DO I SUBMIT?
It's very simple. When submissions are open, you visit this page below and fill out the form - easy as that. 

Submissions will be opening again in September for the 2026 publishing year.

WHEN WILL I HEAR BACK?
As we are a tiny team, we do ask for your patience. Please allow us a few weeks to get back to you on our decision.

HOW DOES THE PUBLISHING PROCESS WORK?
We are a hybrid publishing house, so there is some investment on your part. We currently work with authors and illustrators who need some assistance - whether that is full illustration work, formatting your picture book with completed illustrations or simply marketing & publishing help. Each package is custom-built depending on your needs.

DO YOU TAKE A PERCENTAGE OF MY BOOKS SOLD?
It depends on the package you have decided to take with us. In some cases, we operate on a royalty basis or we offer à la carte publishing services. What you choose is totally up to you at signing. 

DO YOU ONLY PUBLISH PICTURE BOOKS?
Yes - we are strictly a picture book publisher at this time.
