Children's Manuscript Assessments

Our children's editors will look at material for submission in all age groups up to and including Young Adult.

Illustrated and Early Reading Books:

• Assessment of the illustrations and suitability for that specific age group
• Content suitability for the reading abilities of that level - including characterisation
• Overall presentation of the book
• Believability of the content in relation to the genre and age group
• The grammar structure and suitability of language used
• The presentation of hidden meaning and concepts
• Where relavant the editor will suggest further reading and illustration resources

Books for Young Adults will be assessed on the same concepts as above and will take into account current trends in the market.
