Send us the book only you could write.

Are you working on the next Where the Wild Things Are — or the book that will make someone forget it for an evening? The next Charlotte’s Web, the next Holes, the next novel a fourteen-year-old reads under the covers and never quite gets over?

We aren’t asking for imitations. Those books lasted because they sounded like no one else, and that is what we hope to find in the pile: a picture book a child asks for fifty nights running, a chapter book that turns a reluctant reader into a greedy one, a young adult novel that tells the truth about being young without flinching or lecturing.

Bradbury Press is a small, independent children’s book publisher in New York. We take on a handful of books a season, which means each one gets an editor’s full attention, from the first line edit to the finished jacket. Our editors read agented and unagented submissions alike, and a first-time writer with the right manuscript is as welcome as anyone.

Illustrators and visual storytellers have their own door — the art desk.
