What to submit? We are looking for exciting and original novels with a twist of magic, science fiction or some undiscovered spice for children ages 8 to 12 years-old, somewhere in the ballpark of 45,000 words (give or take ten thousand words) for the manuscript. Love great voice and a page-turning plot with emotional resonance and the unexpected inevitable ending. And of course fantastic tension and intelligent humor. Please send chapters 1, 2, 8 and the final chapter embedded in the email with your pitch and bio at the end of the email. If your novel is illustrated, please send 2-3 sample spreads embedded as well.
Send submissions to:
OpenCoop2014Feb@henandink.com
The usual rules apply: Any submissions received before 12 Noon or after Midnight on Saturday, 15 February 2014, will not be accepted.
Response time: If we are interested in seeing more of your manuscript we will be in contact with you directly via email, ideally within six weeks. If you have not heard from us within six weeks, you may reasonably assume that we won't be following up on your submission. Please note that we are unable to engage in correspondence.
Current favorite middle-grade titles include: A SNICKER OF MAGIC, THREE TIMES LUCKY, A FACE LIKE GLASS, THE TOP SECRET DIARY OF PIG, THE KINGDOM OF SILK series, SUNNY SWEET series. Upcoming titles that we love and to watch for: THE MARK OF THE DRAGONFLY (March 2014) and THE BOX AND THE DRAGONFLY (no relation to the previous title; due out in 2015).
