Imagnary House, a new boutique publishing house for
children’s literature in Cape Town, is encouraging submissions from all African
writers. Imagnary House focused on building a larger market for African
children’s authors and illustrators by both igniting the local readership and
engaging with international readers, rights’ and literary agents.
They have opened their submissions after launching their
debut publication (Seven by B D
Harris), and are now looking to build up their publication list for the next
two years.
What they are looking for: “We love stories that are fun and
imaginative, but also address current societal issues for children. We want
simple stories that mean something and can feed positively into our children’s
futures.”
Imagnary House will consider submissions in the following
genres:
-Children’s long form fiction (think Roald Dahl and CS Lewis
narratives)
-Picture books
-Rhyming verse books (think Dr Seuss)
They’re specifically NOT looking for educational texts. Writers
and illustrators can submit their work on the submissions page at https://imagnaryhouse.com/pages/submissions
