Common Questions:
Can I send more than 1 story per packet?
Yes, but please include a separate cover letter and SASE per story. Once in our offices, the stories will likely take different paths.
Can I send illustrations?
Yes. If you are an author/illustrator and have already completed illustrations for the book, we would like to see those. Authors who have commissioned art can also send that art. CD or printouts are fine.
Should I register my story with the U.S. Copyright Office before sending it?
No. Copyrighting is the responsibility of the publisher. Your intellectual property will be safe.
