Submitting a manuscript to OUP Children's Books
We are currently unable to accept unsolicited manuscripts.
At present, we regretfully only accept for consideration those submissions which come via a literary agent.
A comprehensive listing of UK literary agents can be found in the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, published annually by A & C Black.
There is a wealth of information available online to help aspiring writers. For example:
- The Literary Consultancy
- The Writers’ Workshop
- The Writers' Advice Centre for Children's Books
- Booktrust
We wish you every success in your writing.
