Brimax Publishing Guidelines
Tuesday, 16 September 2008

General Information:

The books published by Brimax Publishing usually fall into the following category:

• Children’s books – First concepts, board books and novelty, generally for ages 5 and under and with an educational emphasis.

We are happy to consider all material submitted, but please note we do not normally publish picture storybooks, juvenile or adult novels, poetry or junior fiction titles.

Guidelines for children’s book submissions:

For the initial assessment, we need only view a synopsis of not more than one page in length. If you are submitting a series project, please include any ideas you may have for series development. We will contact you should more material be required for assessment purposes. We will inform you of your manuscript’s viability in due course – please do not ring us.

Important notes to remember:

• Please do not submit original material (in particular, illustrations), as we will not accept any responsibility in the unlikely event that your work is damaged during review. Please send photocopies only.

• Remember also to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope (large enough to contain your work!) to enable its safe return.

• We will inform you of your manuscript’s viability in due course – please do not ring us.
