One of the most fascinating and creative markets in publishing is in children's literature. To tell quality children's stories or produce a lasting imaginative journey for a child is a gift and talent to be cherished. At Eloquent Books, we realize the passion that's behind a children's book and we are interested in possibly publishing yours.

We believe children's literature has the power to entice, motivate and instruct. If you have a book that fits one or more of these qualities, then we are interested in learning more:

Your book provides pleasure and entertainment to a specific age group.
Your book tells a cultural folktale or heritage quality story that would appeal to a specific audience?

Your book has an instructional message told in a refreshing or exciting way.

Your book is a non-fiction subject presented to children in a fun and imaginative way.

Your book involves children in the text or pictures in a fun and/or instructional platform.

If you believe in your story and are dedicated to being a motivating factor in promotions and sales, or you have a strong alliance with a specific group that may provide targeted sales, then we are interested in learning more about you and your book.

Please complete the following Children's Book Information Request, an abbreviated form that helps us quickly determine if there is a possibility of working together. We will typically respond to this form within one business week with a "yes", "no", or "maybe".

Children's Book Information Request Would you mind answering the following questions so that I can get up to speed quickly. Just "dash off" the answers, that's all I need. (If this is newly published, or POD, just put Not Applicable (n/a) when appropriate.) If the answers are on a website somewhere, just give me the link. Requird fields are marked with an *.
