Submission Guidelines
Due to a combination of the overwhelming number of manuscripts received, the growth of Tanglewood over the last two years, and the resulting two-year backlog of manuscripts to be read, we are not currently accepting manuscripts at this time. We will try to post updates on our progress as progress occurs.
If you are waiting to submit your manuscript, please think about sharpening it up. Competition is fierce, and you need to submit your manuscript in the best possible shape. There is a lot of very useful advice on this webpage: www.underdown.org/slush.htm. Please pay SPECIAL ATTENTION to his section on Types of Manuscripts. I couldn't have written it better myself.
If you do think you have a great/unique idea, you might also want to consider having your manuscript reviewed by a professional. Here is a link to a compilation of some of those professionals, from the website of a wonderful children's book author, Cynthia Leitich Smith. Cynthia's website is a virtual treasure trove for budding writers. You'll find plenty of other material and resources to look into.
May 2009
Sorry for the lack of updates. We have made great progress in clearing much of the backlog, however we still have a number of manuscripts from 2007 and 2008 and a big stack of "maybe" manuscripts, which we are sending to additional readers. We will be reopening submissions, with an eye for our lists in 2011 and 2012, on October 1, 2009.
Please do not send any manuscripts before that time. Please come back to the website and read our submissions guidelines before sending us your manuscript. The guidelines will be reposted in October when we reopen. Please do not phone. Thanks!
