Lobster Press publishes high-quality fiction and nonfiction books for children, tweens, teens, and their families.  We are presently looking for picture book manuscripts (written by Canadian authors only). Please send a brief bio, the book synopsis, and the full text of your picture book – via email only – to LobsterPressSubmissions@gmail.com

Please include all text within the body of your email as we are unable to open attachments. In the subject line of your email, please write “Picture Book Submission.” We will only contact you if we are interested in your work.

We are also seeking:

Original fiction for readers 7–9, 9–12, and also for young adults (YA) ages 13+. We are especially interested in comedy, “chick lit,” mystery, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and vampire submissions, but we are open to all fiction queries.

High-interest fiction for reluctant readers, especially boys, ages 9-–12 and also 13+. Strong submissions will feature high-interest, fast-paced plotlines, and will use a widely accessible vocabulary.

Series for readers 7–9 and 9–12.

Graphic Novel submissions - any age group.

Nonfiction books or children's reference books for readers 4–8, 8–12, 12–15, or 15+.

Full guidelines for authors & illustrators here: http://www.lobsterpress.com/index.php?page=31

  2. No deadline. But they're actively looking for picture book manuscripts now. They'll be less interested after they've contracted a few new books.
