Detailed product information
Writing for children is one of the most joyous activities under the sun. It’s also one of the hardest. If you’re serious about getting published, send your manuscript to us. Tell us what it’s about, and feel free to mention any specific questions you have, or problems you’re struggling with. We’ll match your work with one of our experienced children’s editors, and they’ll put together an instructive, comprehensive editorial report for you.
Your report will address the style, structure and pacing of your manuscript. It will also feedback on your plot, your character development and how suitable it is for the children’s market. Your editor will tell you in detail what’s working, what’s not working, and what you need to do to get a publishing deal, or to make it as a successful self-published author.
If your manuscript is great, and we mean really great, we will do what we can to make sure your work gets in front of one of the many agents we work with. We have outstanding links with literary agents and have placed work with leading literary agencies in the UK.
Our editors act as our talent scouts; if they are seriously impressed with your work they’ll let us know and we’ll use our contacts to get your manuscript the attention it deserves. There’s no cost for this – if our editors think your work is good enough to get an agent, we want to help make that happen.
