News Children's Books from Irish Publishers: Damn!

[Pamela Jo]

Irish book publishers do accept submissions from unagented writers, but the bar is high. Not so much for the romance/ women's fiction genre-but children's books. The competition is tough. Very impressed by this list of books for the Halloween season. I had to order one immediately. For my inner child.

Where in the world is the publishing bar not high? Even the smallest market publishers can be very picky around here.

These aren't all Irish publishers or all accepting un-agented subs e.g. Walker Books, S&S, Guppy Books. Put one on my tbr list though.

In my experience (which doesn't include Ireland) these rules are more flexible than you might think. Try a few conferences and/or pitch slams - but don't forget to workshop your project here first.
