I have been looking at more publishers to contact and possibly invite to Hanbury, I am still finding that a large number, especially the larger publishers do no accept unsolicited manuscripts but I have found some that I am able to contact and try to ask for advice or a chance to show my portfolio.
I found a publisher called Halliday books that seems quite interesting, the company is a design agency as well as a publisher, they design corporate identity, branding, character development and animation as well as publishing children’s books. The site is not the same format as other publishers and they don’t have many books showcased on it but the ones they do have received critical acclaim.
The site doesn’t say if they accept manuscripts but does have a contact form. It would be worth getting in touch to ask them for advice and inquire about pitching a book or showing my portfolio to them.
The next publisher I looked at is Lonely Planet Kids which is a large company with bases all over the world including the UK. I wasn’t sure about looking into contacting them as they are such a large company but I did notice on the site they have a list of their illustrators and authors, it could be useful to contact them to ask advice, especially ones based in the UK. Could possibly lead to inviting them or a representative of the publisher to Hanbury.
