Ford Street is a successful small independent Australian publisher of children’s books. We aim to publish picture books through to young adult fiction that is theme-based, not genre-based, with contemporary issues pertinent and of interest to Australian children to young adults. We have strong presence in the market place through INT Books and Macmillan – major distributors with the ability to ably distribute our books around Australia. INT Books is our exclusive NZ distributor. We have established a profile beyond our size with many reviews in journals, newspapers and on the web. Many titles have been taken up for use in the classroom as our books deal with issues that are of concern to young people. (See Teacher’s Notes.) Authors and illustrators submitting their work are advised to study the types of books we are publishing. A hint: children’s through to YAs only! When submitting manuscripts to us, please ensure to enclose a self-stamped, addressed envelope if you would like either a response or your manuscript returned (should it not meet our current needs). Manuscripts should be addressed to Terrie Saunders,
