Bookmonkey Press is a conservative publishing house with a love for old-fashioned story-telling. We aim to provide good books for children and families to enjoy and add to their home libraries. We prefer to have a personal connection with our authors and are therefore highly selective when it comes to accepting manuscripts for publication.
Things we are looking for:
- Our chief focus is Middle Grade fiction. We are disinclined to consider YA, but will give consideration to adult novels if they match our criteria as stated above.
- We enjoy investing in stories of length which provide time for a story to develop richly. Greater consideration will be given to manuscripts with a word count of 80,000 or more.
If you consider that your manuscript matches these qualifications and would like us to consider it for publication, you may submit the following:
Bookmonkey Press accepts no responsibility for proposals sent to us.

- A one paragraph synopsis of your story.
- A short description of why you believe your book is a good fit for Bookmonkey Press.
- One to two chapters from the book, along with a finished word count of the entire manuscript.
- A short autobiographical description of yourself.
- A $50 submission fee, applied towards time spent considering your manuscript to determine whether we feel you are a good fit. Paying this fee does not guarantee acceptance. But, it does guarantee a response from us as to its suitability.
