Charlesbridge publishes high-quality books for
young people with a goal of creating lifelong readers and learners. Under its Imagine imprint,
it also publishes 8–10 nonfiction titles for adults.
Charlesbridge
believes that books for children should offer accurate information, promote a
positive worldview, and embrace a child’s innate sense of wonder and fun. To this
end, we seek new voices, new visions, and new directions in children’s
literature. Like everyone else, they’re especially interested in “BIPOC (Black,
Indigenous, and other People of Color) voices and other perspectives that have
been traditionally underrepresented in publishing.”
Charlesbridge
publishes fiction and nonfiction board books, picture books, early readers,
middle-grade fiction and nonfiction (ages 8–12), and young adult novels (ages
12+).
Charlesbrige’s
nonfiction tends to focus on nature, science, math, social studies, biography,
history, and the arts.
