When you're ready to submit…

Please send a brief email in the first instance, telling us about the project you’ve written – intended age group, word count and any previous writing experience.

We’ll then get back in touch with an address for you to post your manuscript to. At this point, we’ll accept payment via PayPal.

It might sound nit-picky, but we do ask that your manuscript comes to us in a certain format. It needs to be:

12pt font sizeTimes New Romandouble spaced

Please don’t staple or bind your manuscript in any way, and please do add page numbers. Make sure you keep a copy as we are unable to return manuscripts.

It’s also important that you include a title page – that is, a clean sheet at the front with just your name, the project name, its word count, and your address and contact details.

Our turnaround time is generally within four weeks, but we will advise you if this is likely to be longer.

Please note, we don’t accept picture book texts.
