Submission Guidelines

Submission Guidelines

We work with both established and new authors, as well as artists in all stages of their careers. Please see specific guidelines below and follow them carefully. We value your time and our own.



For Authors

We are not currently taking new titles. Please check back in January 2012 for our guidelines.


For Artists

We are currently accepting portfolios. We work with artists in many mediums for our book covers -- adult, teen, and children's -- as well as for our storybook interiors. Artists should be comfortable working in color as well as black and white and be able to work cooperatively with an editor and an author. We respect an artist's interruption of a work, but also strive for harmony with our authors and our own marketing needs.


Send at least five black and white and at least five color examples of your work. Examples should always be copies, not your originals.


Include a standard self-addressed stamped envelope for our response. If you want your examples back, include a self-addressed stamped envelope for them. If your style is something we're looking for, your portfolio will be kept on file until a project is ready.


Your cover letter must include your rates for the following, if applicable:


* Color Front Cover (Basic) 6 x 9

* Color Front Cover (Wrap) 13 x 9

* Color Interiors (Storybook, 18 pp) 8 x 8

* Black and White Interiors (Storybook, 18 pp) 8 x 8
