1) GETTING STARTED:

Prior to submitting online, we strongly suggest the following initial steps:

• First, familiarize yourself with our current catalog of Young or Middle Reader titles to learn more about the types of books we publish within the relevant genre.
• Next, we recommend contacting BBPG by phone to discuss your manuscript with a member of our team. A preliminary call enables us to provide fast, honest feedback on your project—and reflects the authentic author relationships that serve as the cornerstone of our publishing process.
• Lastly, download and carefully review our full roster of Manuscript Format Requirements 

2) LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS:

Please note we can only accept submissions written in the English language.

3) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MIDDLE GRADE FICTION:

Auxiliary information is required for Middle Grade fiction submissions, and your manuscript must be accompanied by a detailed synopsis, an author bio, and a marketing plan. Please note we publish very few works of fiction each year.

4) MATERIALS ADVISORY:

If submitting your manuscript via mail instead of online, do NOT submit original/singular materials; original copies should always stay in the author’s possession, and only duplicates should be used when submitting to any publisher, including BBK. BBK will not return any physical materials submitted for consideration; this includes hard copies, CDs, flash drives, etc. Physical materials may be submitted to the following address: Attn: Director of Brown Books Kids | Brown Books Publishing Group | 16250 Knoll Trail, Suite 205 | Dallas, Texas 75248
