SORRY -- DUE TO A BACKLOG OF SUBMISSIONS WE'RE CURRENTLY CLOSED TO UNSOLICITED MATERIAL. PLEASE VISIT AGAIN JULY 2012

Authors and illustrators submitting their work are advised to study the types of books we publish. A hint: children’s through to YA only!

When submitting manuscripts to us, ensure you enclose a self-stamped, addressed envelope if you would like either a response or your manuscript returned (should it not meet our current needs). We only read printed MSS -- emailed submissions or those on discs will not be read. We prefer the entire manuscript -- outlines are not required.

Please don't submit books that have already been published, either in print or on the net; we're not currently accepting chapter books. We hate to sound provincial, but we only publish Australian authors and illustrators.

We're fine with multiple-submitted MSS, but please let us know if you've found a suitable publisher before hearing back from us.

Allow up to three months for a response.


Manuscripts should be addressed to: 

Gemma Dean-Furlong
Ford Street Publishing
2 Ford Street
Clifton Hill, VIC 3068
