Indigenous PBs only, and general Children’s books.Īccepts children’s book submissions, but may not accept PBs.Ĭhildren’s fiction including chapter books and junior novelsĬLOSED for submissions for the foreseeable future. SP = Self Publishing/Assisted Publishing Publisher => = refer to parent publisher’s submission information
XI = only accepting illustrator portfolios. X=> = not accepting, but there are other options XX = not accepting unsolicited manuscripts I’ve also included the date I last viewed their websites so you can assess how current this information may be. Additionally, quite a few of the publishers on this list are open to children’s books, but not picture book submissions, so I may not always have closely read the fine print on submission pages for publishers who I was not a good fit for, so as always, do your research. So I have compiled a reasonably extensive list of Australian publishers and their status with respect to accepting unsolicited children’s picture book manuscripts.īecause I’m mostly interested in fiction and educational publishers, I did not fully research some of the publishers who did not meet my specifications. The picture book publishing industry is tight, with too many authors and few publishers willing to risk an unknown writer. As an unpublished author, it’s difficult to find someone who will even read your manuscript.
