Submitting a Manuscript ^ top of page Andersen Press publishes mainly picture books, for which the required text would be under 1000 words, early readers fiction for which the text is about 3-5000 words long, and older fiction for which the text is about 15-50,000 words. For submission of manuscripts, we usually ask for three sample chapters if the work is a novel, a synopsis and return postage. For picture books, send photocopied examples of artwork or sketches, plus a synopsis and the full text - DO NOT post originals, as any losses cannot be accounted for. It is not essential to send both art and text. All submissions should be addressed to: Submissions Editor Andersen Press Ltd. 20 Vauxhall Bridge Road London SW1V 2SA Please note we do not publish poetry or short stories. Please do not send manuscripts or samples of your illustration via email. Andersen Press will only accept submissions via post and addressed to the Submissions Editor. We aim to respond within two months of receipt although there will be times when that isn't possible.
