Sylvan Dell Publishing’s Picture Book Writing Competition offers homeschooled students working at a high school level a unique opportunity to explore the world of children’s literature and try their hands at writing picture books. The winning author will receive a $200 prize, and the manuscript will be seriously considered for publication.

Manuscripts must be submitted online.

Sylvan Dell picture books are usually fictional stories that relate to animals, nature, the environment, science and math. Submitted manuscripts should fall into this description. All books should subtly convey an educational theme through a warm story that is fun to read and that will grab a child’s attention.

Sylvan Dell is NOT looking for manuscripts about:
- pets (dogs or cats in particular) and/or new babies
- local or state-specific book
- magic
- biographies
- history-related books
- ABC books
- poetry books
- series
- young adult books or novels
- holiday-related books

Does not consider manuscripts that have been previously published in any way, shape, or form -- including e-books or self-published.

Manuscripts of more than 1,500 words will not be accepted.
