Publishers accepting submissions

[Emurelda]

I have a list of some publishers here in the UK who accept direct submissions.

Please note these are UK and Children bias. Feel free to add anymore. Sorry if this is a duplicate thread - may want to merge it to any other if necessary.

Andersen Press Ltd want physical submissions only, hmmm unusual no?
Bloomsbury Spark (ebooks only unless it becomes popular)
The Chicken House (only through paid annual competition, make of it what you will)
Hogs Back Books Ltd ( they do say they accept older age groups in their submissions page)
Stripes (imprint) (Another physical only submission for children books)
The O'Brien Press Ltd (printed submissions again)
Piccadilly Press (children's books up to 15 years)
Strident Publishing Ltd
Sweet Cherry Publishing (Unusually no royalties but pay upfront or staggered fees for work completed/completing)

Clicking through takes you directly to the submissions page - or should do.

This sort of information is always greatly appreciated

Interesting researching this. Something about Strident Publishing I liked. Can't remember why I circled it so lovingly on my list lol...will figure it out when I get round to it again.

I've been meaning to send off this list here for a while now - only got round to it. So no worries, it might save other people some time that's how I see it.

What's odd is that originally I counted 17 direct submissions but after I researched a few others I found there were some unsavoury ones that need to be added to the 'shark' something thread

I can add a few more to this list:

Curious Fox
Nosy Crow
Wacky Bee (Appear to want authors to use their MS appraisal service)
Firefly (currently closed but worth keeping an eye out for when they open again)
Buster Books

I haven't gone through this link thoroughly but am putting it here for reference later. Some are repeats btw but is much more comprehensive.

More publishers

I'm not aiming at these, myself, but I notice an agent with a gorgeous name, who's been saying recently, she's open to children's & YA subs: Amber Caraveo at Skylark https://mobile.twitter.com/ambercaraveo

Hmmm...Maybe we should have an agents list too. This one is a nice start. I noted Skylark agents before and used their tips on the cover letter when I first looked them up.
