Books4Kids is an independent publisher of children's books that are both windows and mirrors to the world.  We believe that all children should be able to see themselves in books, read them in their own language and most importantly be able to afford the books we publish. 

As a small team we may not be able to respond to every submission we receive, nor can we guarantee that your manuscript or book is summary will be accepted.  

We work with a team of trusted writers and illustrators in creating our books. We do also take submissions based on a few guidelines. 

1. Our books cover many different topics and needs of the children in the world. 
2. Our books do need to have a story that kids can relate to or be written in the context of a diverse and international society. 
3. Board Books are generally 5 full spreads (10 pages) no more than 7 full spreads (14 pages)  pages and reflect the experiences relevant to the age group of the children 0-3 yrs old.
4. Picture books are usually highly illustrated and have a maximum of 32 pages and 1,500 words of text for children 3-7 years old.
5. Higher word density picture books will be considered for children ages 6-9.
6. We will not consider any AI-Generated stories or submissions. 

At this time, we are not publishing novels for children although it may be considered in the future

Books4Kids Publishing is dedicated to creating affordable books as such we do not work with Literacy agents, we pay flat rate pricing, and we generally buy the rights to the books.

How to Submit a book proposal:

Send us your manuscript or completed PDF to submissions@books4kidspublishing.com

We are lucky enough to receive such a high volume of manuscripts every month; however, this means we are unfortunately unable to offer criticism on individual projects. If your concept has taken our interest, we'll be in touch. If you haven't heard from us within 12 weeks, then please assume that we didn't consider your submission a suitable fit for our program.
