Scholastic
Canada publishes
recreational reading for children and young people. Its publishing focus is on
books by Canadians or of Canadian interest. M.R.
(Robbie) Robinson founded the original Scholastic company in 1920 in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. Incorporated in 1957, Scholastic Canada Ltd. was the first of an
international family of companies that now includes members in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New
Zealand, India and Asia.
Scholastic Canada has its own editorial and acquisitions office. They do not usually accept un-agented manuscripts, unless you’ve heard one of their editors speak at a workshop. Anne Shone, Executive Editor of Scholastic Canada, will be the guest speaker at the online “Writing for Children & for Young Adults” workshop on Saturday, January 28, (see here).
Don’t miss it!
