Children's Book Publishers - How to Impress Them with a Right Manuscript

 

Publishing a children's book is not just a matter of imagination or simple "good writing". A children's book is a memory for life. Here’s how to write it and how to present it to a publisher.

Who do you tell your story to?

Children are not all the same and so books are different based on the age of the child, which is the first factor to consider. A children's book can also be written for children who still cannot read, that is for the preschool phase. You can write a book for first-grade children.

You can write a book for children up to 11 years old. After this threshold, we are already talking about preteens. Children develop different skills during their growth stages. A six-year-old cannot read a story with only written text for 200 pages, which an 11-year-old can do if the story interests him.

Based on age, you will need to calibrate your story, but age isn't the only factor. The message you want to convey to the little ones must be original and universal at the same time. Of course, your message doesn't have to be racist, homophobic, inspired by violence or sex.

Basing your story on childhood memories can work, but be careful: you have to write to today's children, not those of the eighties, simply because time passes and, to be timeless, you have to think about the future.

The proposal to the publisher

How to submit a book to a publisher and what are the waiting times? It is essential to present yourself with a cover letter, useful for telling your world without overdoing it. Indicate the potential necklace where your children's book might find a home.

It is essential to insert a small biography and write a synopsis of the book, where the publisher can get an idea. Originality and selection in this type of book is everything, so the publisher expects not only an interesting or good book but something different in fantasy and color.

If you want to publish your first children’s book at a trusted publishing house you can go for Rumour Books India. We are one of the best children’s book publishers in India support both new and experienced authors to get their book published by us with quality print and other services.
