Children's Books from 0-12 years.
Non-negotiable - Full licence to publish worldwide - 5-year contract
70% royalty rate (Writer 35% + illustrator 35%) for ebooks, paperbacks, and audiobooks.
We are particularly interested in writer/ illustrators.
However, we will accept submissions from either.
ETHOS: 'Kids learn with paper, not screens'
We are looking for all genres. Strictly no AI!
Submissions are open throughout 2026.
We are a small but ambitious press. Your book will be given the same care and attention that a larger press can provide, but we have yet to establish our desired reach. Your book will grow as Luna Eden Publishing does.

Determine whether your book is a picture book (0–5 years), an early reader (5–8 years), or a middle grade (8–12 years), as submission requirements differ for each.
Don't Send Finished Art (for manuscripts): We want to see your potential and style, not a completed project, unless you are submitting as a writer and illustrator.
Please send a query letter.
For Picture Books: Send the full text (usually under 1,000 words). Do not provide illustrations unless you are a professional illustrator.
For Older Fiction: Send a query letter, a 1–2 page synopsis, and the first 5–10 pages.
Email Tom at editor@lunaedenpublishing.co.uk. State if you are a writer, an illustrator, or both. We will get back to you as soon as possible if we are interested in knowing more (around 4 weeks).
