Nosy Crow is this morning 'delighted to announce a call for picture book submissions from writers of colour', with a view to increasing the diversity of its picture book list. The scheme is also open to writer-illustrators, who can submit illustrations along with their picture book stories.
According to Nosy Crow: 'For a period of four weeks starting today, 21 January, writers and writer-illustrators are encouraged to submit their stories, which will be reviewed by editors and designers on the Nosy Crow picture book team. Texts should be suitable for children aged around 3-5 and can be in rhyme or prose. They can feature human characters, animal (or fantasy!) characters, or a mixture - and they can be about anything you can imagine!
'Submissions are free and can come from anywhere in the world, but they must be written in the English language and must be previously unpublished. Writers and writer-illustrators must be aged 18 or older.'
