“WE LOOK FOR PUBLISHING HOUSES AND EDITORS WHO DO NOT REQUIRE THE WRITER TO HAVE AN AGENT. TAKE A LOOK AT THESE LEADS BELOW.” – Jennifer 

We know it’s time consuming and tedious to scour market guides for children’s writers, so we’re doing it for you!

We look for publishers who accept “over the transom” submissions—that is unsolicited queries and/or manuscripts for books and magazines for children. We also look for publishing houses and editors who do not require the writer to have an agent.

So take a look at the leads below that we have compiled just for you. Following the list of Children’s Book Publishers is a list of publishers of books for adults. After that, is a combined list of all publishers in alphabetical order.

Note: You should be aware that publishers vary in how they want manuscripts submitted.

Some require an email attachment. Others require that you upload to their site, and some houses still want paper submissions by snail mail. You can see all the details on their sites.

For optimizing your chances of getting your submission accepted, be sure to get our workbook. We can help you fine-tune your manuscript or help you get that idea from your head out onto paper (or computer screen.)
