Sky Pony Press

 

According to their website: "We publish picture books, chapter books, middle grade, and YA fiction and nonfiction. We’re open to any genre and style, and we’re always looking for something new and different. We love original concepts, fresh voices, and writing that knocks us off our feet.

To submit a manuscript or proposal to Sky Pony, please send an email to skyponysubmissions (at) skyhorsepublishing (dot) com.

Please put your query letter in the body of your email and attach all materials to be considered as a Word document, or in the case of art, as a jpeg. To make sure your email is received, please be mindful of the size of attachments included in your message."

Creston Books

 

According to their website: "Creston Books fills the void left behind by the major New York publishers who no longer put out a broad range of quality picture books. The golden age of picture books, when fine books were edited and published despite not being blockbusters, does not have to be over. Creston Books is author/illustrator driven, with talented, award-winning creators given more editorial freedom and control than in a typical New York house. We work hard to promote every book we print, not just the few we think will sell the best."

Eerdmans Books for Young Readers

According to their website: "Eerdmans Books for Young Readers accepts unsolicited hardcopy submissions, but we respond only to submissions we are interested in publishing. While we do not require submissions to be exclusive, we do ask that you inform us if you are simultaneously submitting it elsewhere, and certainly inform us if another publisher has expressed interest in your manuscript. If you have not heard from us after four months, you may assume that your submission does not fit the needs of our list."
