Intense needs
PDR Lindsay-Salmon
INtense Publications is an independent Texan publishing house founded by keen educators who want all children to read and enjoy reading. They aim ‘to meet the literacy needs of students and educators’ and need manuscripts and exercises that children will enjoy. Check out the website and read the guidelines. Currently the team seek middle grade (MG) chapter books of all genres. They like an MG book to include writing resources and activities for literacy, but above all, the story must be entertaining. They also want young adult (YA) fiction and nonfiction of all genres. YA work should challenge the reader. At both levels the team like fiction involving challenges such as ‘disabilities, stereotypes, and bullying’. Other needs include fantasy, science fiction, children’s picture books, K-12 educational resources and self-help non-fiction. Payment is discussed on acceptance with the contract. A response ‘may take several months’. Details: INtense Publications, email: contact@intensepublications.com; website: http://intensepublications.com
