Who We Are:
Cradle Fables Publishing is a new, independent publisher of children’s picture books.
We are different to other publishing companies, in that our focus is specifically on picture books that are designed to encourage the creative development of under 5’s.
We don’t publish educational books, as the market is already flooded with great books that help toddlers learn numbers, colours and all sorts of interesting things about the world around them.
Our focus is strictly on the under-5 market, because we believe there is already a wide variety of fantastic picture books available for older children. However, we find there to be a definite shortage in the market for simple storytelling that introduces toddlers to the wonderful world of books and sets their imaginations alight.
How We Work:
As a new business we are currently accepting manuscripts with a view for publication and sales commencing 2010. The initial focus of our website is to inform authors and illustrators of who we are and to provide information, articles and links that will help you write your book. Over time the website will grow to serve two purposes:
-
An online bookstore overflowing with wonderful and inspiring tales for growing imaginations
-
A powerful resource for writers and illustrators with a passion for children’s literature
What We Are Looking For:
We are currently accepting submissions, from both writers and illustrators, and are looking for all manner of fairytales and poetry about Princesses and Pirates and Frogs that go “La-di-da-di-da”, told in simple and engaging language.
Whether your work is a twist on an old tale or an original story that will enchant a new generation, we’d love to hear from you!
While our guidelines are fairly broad, we would ask that you have a close look before submitting your work to us.
