Do you accept submissions?
Unfortunately we are not accepting submissions at this time. We are a little swamped with more work than we can handle at this time. Please check back and we will update this page when we are once again able to accept submissions.
What topics are you looking for?
For fiction, we're looking for stories with memorable characters and kid-friendly themes. We'd especially like to see more multicultural stories and stories that teach a lesson.

We are interested in historical biographies, such as the Founding Fathers (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, etc.)
We'd also like more black history biographies (Rosa Parks, Sojourner Truth, George Washington Carver, Booker T. Washington, etc.)
And we'd also like to see some more U.S. presidential biographies.
