Illustration Guidelines

What We Publish

We are always happy to accept illustrator's portfolios, but as we receive so many, it is worth considering whether your art will fit with our programme before sending.

Our books cover many different subjects, but are all written within the context of a diverse and international society. We try to reflect various family structures and avoid gender, age, disability or racial stereotyping. 

As an independent publisher, we are always on the lookout for opportunities to collaborate with creatives from under-represented groups whose art features inclusive, diverse portrayals that are sensitive to their subject matter.

How to submit

Feedback

We are lucky enough to receive such a high volume of portfolios every month; however, we are unfortunately unable to offer criticism on individual projects. If your concept has taken our interest, portfolios will be kept on file and considered for new projects.
