Open October call for manuscripts

Do you follow Sourcebooks Kids on Instagram? Here is a quote from a recent post:

📣Calling all children’s authors!

📖For the month of October, our editor Melissa Manlove is accepting UNAGENTED submissions!

🌟Melissa will choose ONE manuscript at random to read if you send multiple.
🌟We’re expecting a high number of submissions. If you do not hear back by the end of December, we have passed at this time.
🌟Email your submission to OpenOctober@sourcebooks.com.
🌟Check out Melissa’s manuscript wishlist at the link in our bio.

We can’t wait to read your stories📚💛

FYI: The Josephine book (with the award stickers) at the bottom of Melissa’s manuscript wishlist was written by Patricia Hruby Powell, one of my former students.
