Picture Book submissions open soon.
I love to support local bookstores. I am currently lining up some bookstore visiting events where I will come and chat direct to author customers about what I am looking for in my current picture book submissions. Please note this is only available through bookstores and not online. This is designed to support our local bookstores and continue a conversation between authors, us and the bookstore and as a result is not streamed.
Picture Book Submissions from Wombat Books.
Would you like to hear direct from Rochelle Stephens, publisher what she wants in picture books in 2025? Rochelle is visiting some bookstores to meet with authors and share a bit about the upcoming submission opening. A perfect time to ask Rochelle questions and support local bookstores.
At this event Rochelle will cover:
- The submission process for picture books at Wombat Books
- Give examples of 10 of our Wombat titles and the publishing process and why she chose them for publication
- Give examples of other picture book successes by Australian authors
- Give suggestions for pitching to Wombat
- Help with market research for gaps in the market
- Answer general questions about submitting to Wombat Books
Upcoming events:
Newcastle Library event 22nd January with Maclean's Bookshop. Rochelle will zoom in to the event organised by Hunter Valley writers and Macleans.
