Submission Guidelines

We are open for submissions…

If you are a children’s book writer, and want to work with us here at Dinosaur Books, then get submitting!

We will occasionally advertise for submissions for particular projects via Twitter and Instagram. Follow us @DinosaurBooksCo

We are a very small company (you can probably tell that) and proud of publishing authors from under represented communities - writers of colour, working class writers. As a Black owned and led business, we are particularly passionate about championing Black writers and illustrators - these are under represented in the publishing industry (as are Black publishers)!

We are currently also interested in illustration submissions, particularly from illustrators who draw in a pen and ink style.

We look forward to hearing from you - we read all submissions received. Please accept my apologies for not replying if your manuscript or illustrations are not right for us, we receive many submissions and have a small output. Unfortunately, we are unable to reply personally or give any feedback.

Please send either your synopsis and first three chapters or a example of your writing style that’s 5 pages to submissions@dinosaurbooks.co.uk and mark your email: submission
