“We’re always looking for new authors and new book and calendar ideas.”
AMP is also the premier calendar publisher in the country, annually publishing calendars based on many top-selling properties.” What they are looking for: “Andrews McMeel Publishing (AMP) is a leading publisher of humor, inspiration, poetry, and middle grade children’s books, publishing as many as 150 new titles annually. We will read and review un-agented manuscripts and proposals for picture books, middle-grade fiction, and young adult novels.” What they are looking for: “Albert Whitman & Company currently has an open submissions policy. I’ll relist them if they change their policies. Just in: Five of the publishers previously listed are no longer accepting submissions, so I struck them from the list. I am not recommending any of these publishers, just providing information. Note: This information is current as of April, 2019 but can change at any time. (And please note that I am not a publisher.) Be sure to read a publisher’s website carefully before contacting them. Some are traditional, royalty-based publishers, while others offer add-on services in addition to traditional publishing. Some of these publishers only publish in digital form, while others publish “physical” books, as well. As much as possible, all information I’ve included is quoted from the websites. For each, you’ll find a link to the contact page on their websites, as well as a brief description of the types of manuscripts they are looking for. To help you find them, I’ve put together a list of 35 publishers who accept unsolicited submissions.
