Children's book publishers
We love publishing children’s books. We can’t help but smile when we see a child’s eyes light up with excitement or pretending to be one of your book’s characters. You probably enjoy that last one too. So, join us in our mission to spread joy to young readers and inspire the imagination of tomorrow’s writers.

Our Publishing Process
When you are ready to publish your children’s book, send us your final manuscript and/or storyboard. We then send your files to the illustrator with the most appropriate art background for your book. At the same time, another illustrator will work on creating the perfect front cover. Once all of the artwork is finished, a mock design will be sent to you for review and approval. However, if you provide us with illustrations when submitting your final manuscript to us, your book would jump directly into the composition and eBook formatting stages.
After a thorough inspection of your print and eBook files, we then release your book to all of our partnering retailers.
Check out some of our latest releases and submit your book idea.
We can’t wait to hear your story.
