Just re-posting this blog from Nosy Crow. I echo what they say about the amount of submissions they receive and how many they can publish. Back in the day, Chips Beans and Limousines was picked up from Usborne’s slush pile – that was something like one in three thousand! But if you’ve submitted and not got anywhere, don’t give up – keep on working on your writing. Usborne saw about three books from me before they took Chips. (But do follow all publisher guidelines of course!)
