What We Are Looking For
Muddy Publishing is a small, independent publisher that produces a limited number of books each year. However, we are always looking for new talents and titles that could complement our growing list of children’s picture books. We are interested in hearing your ideas for picture books that feature unique, original concepts and lots of personality. We are looking for picture books that will appeal to children through creativity, excitement and strong storytelling.

How do I submit a manuscript/illustrated book idea?
We are happy to accept illustrated picture-book stories and/or artwork sample ideas via email only.

EMAIL SUBMISSIONS
Picture book manuscripts or fully illustrated concepts should be sent as PDF or Word documents. Unfortunately, we are unable to reply to email submissions unless we are interested in your work.

Please send email submissions to: submissions@muddypublishing.com

We do not accept posted physical work. Therefore, any posted material we receive will be recycled.  Please note that we can not return any material sent to us.

If you are submitting work, please ONLY email your manuscript ideas and illustration samples. Please do not send any original artwork or dummy books, as Muddy Publishing cannot accept liability for loss of or damage to material submitted. 

We regret that we are unable to enter into any correspondence about submissions or discuss them on the telephone. Please allow us up to one month to respond.  If we feel your book is of interest to us, we will get in touch. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
