Graffeg is a publisher based in male that accepts ideas for children’s picture books, the format for submitting seems a lot more open that the other publishers I have looked at and suggests more of a collaborative effort between the author, illustrator and publisher. This could be useful for first time authors/illustrators to work alongside someone with industry experience. The specification is to submit a document that includes:
- a brief description of the idea for the book
- an outline of the story
- the target audience incliding age range
- the purpose of the book
- what will the reader learn/gain from reading it
- illustrations outlining the story
- a word/page count
- a preferred format, small, medium or large, softback it hardback
They also accept submissions for gift and stationary ideas such as calendars and cards related to their core subjects
Looking through the range of children’s books published by Graffeg the core themes appear to be nature/animals, the only have a fairly small selection of children’s books. Looking at the books they publish many of them deal with quite serious or dark subject matter, the loss of a loved one, mans relationship with nature and cautionary tales of love. This could be a good publishervto approach about my books that deal with more than just simple fun narratives.
