Call for Children’s Literature Manuscripts
For the young, stories never stay on the page. It used to be that words and pictures tumbled from books thick with magic, heavy with the scent of new paper that led us to secret worlds within.
Today, stories have found fresh ways to come alive.
In the hands of an expert digital producer, images dance to the touch of our fingers, words shape-shift at the push of a button. In the hands of a theatre and media producer, stories are crafted in light, sound and drama for the stage and screen.
If you have a story for the young that you wish to see in print and pixels, we want to hear from you.
As long as you wholly own the rights to your work – whether unpublished or out-of-print – we want to see your original manuscripts for
children’s picture books, chapter books and young adult (YA) fiction.
