Submissions
Brighter Minds Media is committed to providing high quality books at affordable prices while inspiring learning through imagination, innovation and exploration. We are interested in all kinds and formats of books that are interactive in some fashion. All of our products need to have a factor that goes beyond just reading. Our current list features famous song lyrics as padded books with an accompanying CD of the song, light-up board books that teach counting or tell a cute story and fun picture books with touch and feel aspects. While we are primarily interested in books for children ages up to eight years, we also have chapter books for older children as well as multimedia kits and flash cards.
We do not accept projects, proposals or queries via e-mail, by fax or on a disk. The only projects we accept without a query first are picture books. Everything else should be submitted by query (synopsis and three sample chapters) and SASE first. You must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope large enough to hold your materials and only US postage will be accepted. Anything submitted without an appropriate self-addressed, stamped envelope will be recycled. For confirmation that your package was received, be sure to include a self-addressed, stamped postcard. Please do not call for confirmation; it cannot be given over the telephone. If you are submitting any artwork, do not send original art. Anything from photocopies to tear sheets is acceptable. If you would like your work kept on file, please indicated which work we may keep. We are not responsible for unsolicited material, so please keep a copy of all your materials.

While all submissions received are reviewed, we are unable to respond personally to each project. You should expect to wait from four to six months generally.
Due to postal regulations, SASE packages weighing a pound or more require special handling and therefore will be delayed by as much as 30 days.
Important: These guidelines are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a solicitation off materials of any kind. Submission of any unsolicited materials shall be done at the author/illustrator’s own risk of loss or damage.
