GUIDELINES

Picture

​We are currently seeking submissions of LGBTQ2+ -themed
children’s picture books, middle grade and young adult novels. We would especially like to see stories with Trans characters and/or themes.
Canadian authors only, please.
Thank you for your interest in Rebel Mountain Press. In addition to the current call out, we are also seeking:

Stories with strong empowered female leads are especially encouraged, as are themes that explore social justice and awareness, equality, human and animal rights. High adventure stories are also accepted, as are those for reluctant readers.
  • insightful adult fiction, memoir, and poetry, particularly that which illuminates the lives of Indigenous people, and/or is LGBTQ2+ themed.
  •  submissions with themes of gender identity (ie: transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender, etc.) in both children's picture book, middle grade, and young adult formats.
WHAT TO SUBMIT
In addition to a manuscript sample (as per the categories listed below), please include a cover letter that also explains what makes you the best person to tell this story, and a C.V. with your home mailing address, information about academic history, relevant work and previous publishing credits (where applicable).
