Nosy Crow LGBTQ+ Open Submissions 2023
We are looking for more LGBTQ+ authors!
Submissions open on Thursday the 1st of June. Authors can submit picture book stories, together with your own artwork (not someone else's) if you are an author-illustrator.
Before submitting your stories to us, we would like to ask that you familiarise yourself with current fiction picture books for children aged around 3-5, especially if you're new to writing for this age group.
Stories can be in prose or rhyme, and the themes and types of characters (magical, mythical, human, animal, and everything in-between!) are totally up to you. Stories informed by your LGBTQ+ identity and experience are especially welcomed.
Please send no more than three picture book texts to LGBTQPlus@nosycrow.com, along with a short biography in the body of the email. The window for submissions is for a limited time only, from the 1st of June 2022 to the 30th of June 2023. I'm afraid any submissions received after this time will not be considered.
It's free to submit stories, and we welcome submissions from around the world, but they must be in the English language and unpublished anywhere in any country. Authors and author-illustrators must be aged 18 or older.
If you have any questions, email LGBTQPlus@nosycrow.com. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, either via your agent, or directly from you if you don't have one.
Good luck!
Alice Bartosinski
