Submissions - A Call to All Authors, Illustrators and Creators

Gloo Books is an independent publishing company making children’s books for a more inclusive, just and compassionate future. We believe the change we want to see can start with our children and there is no better place to begin that process than in the books they read. Books are transformative tools that can empower children through creative and informative storytelling.

Because we are a new and small publisher, we are especially invested in the authors we choose to publish and have a hands-on approach, working closely and collaboratively with authors and the team of professionals involved in creating books. As a mission-driven company, we see our authors as part of the larger Gloo Books community we are building. We are looking for passionate creatives that share our point of view and are equally excited about our mission.

What we are looking for:

  • Board books, picture book, early reader and chapter books for children
  • Fiction or nonfiction

Include in your email or cover letter:

  • A summary about yourself– we want to get to know you! Please include whether you have been previously published and/or where you or your work has appeared, including any articles, appearances, speaking engagements or your social media accounts.
  • A brief summary of your manuscript and why it’s a good fit for Gloo Books to publish. We want to know about your vision, inspiration and/or purpose for writing your book.
