How can I submit a children’s book manuscript or story idea to Usborne?

As the majority of Usborne books (including our baby books, picture books, activity books, novelty books and non-fiction books) are written by Usborne staff writers, we don't accept submissions for any of those types of books. You can find out more about how Usborne books are produced on the About Usborne Children’s Books page at Usborne.com

We do accept submissions for our award-winning fiction list, but we are not able to consider unsolicited manuscripts. That means that you must be represented by a literary agent who can submit on your behalf. Any unsolicited manuscripts sent to us will, regretfully, not be read or returned.
