The submissions page for Dream Jar Publishing says:

“AUTHORS: We are currently open for a limited submission opportunity. At this time, we are ONLY looking for chapter book or early middle grade stories (no more than 15,000 words) for one of our imprints below. The work must be complete, not a work-in-progress.”

The submissions form says: “We do not read full manuscripts for submissions, only review pitches and synopses. If one captures our attention and interest, we’ll reach out for the full manuscript.”

FYI: The Field of Dreams book announced on the Dream Jar Publishing homepage was co-written by Stacy B. Davids, one of my former students.
