How to submit your manuscript:

​​​

  • Include in your email a brief biography, synopsis and contact information.

  • Illustrators are encouraged to send a portfolio of your work. If you have a website, please send the URL.​

​​

  • ​​It is increasingly important that authors and illustrators be active participants in promoting titles once they are published. This includes visiting schools, attending author events at bookstores and libraries, maintaining your own online social media promotion, and so on.

  • Given the volume of manuscripts Daisy Lane Publishing receives, please allow up to three months for us to review your submission. We take the time to look at each and every email. If we are interested in your story, you can expect to hear from us within three months. If you don’t hear from us, please assume that your manuscript is not a fit for our current needs. We receive many submissions and can only publish a few books each year.
