So You Want to Publish a Children’s Book?

The Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing Group works with select authors who are serious about their craft and committed to building readership.

We focus primarily on:

• Children’s picture books
• Select middle-grade novels (ages 9–12)

All of our authors are expected to actively participate in building their platform, including social media engagement.

If you are an author who is:

• Actively building a social media presence
• Committed to marketing your work
• Ready to invest your time, talent, and treasure
• Serious about professional publishing
• Interested in partnership rather than passive placement

We encourage you to speak with publisher Sean Buvala at Booth 288 during the festival.
You may also DM us to set up an informal time to talk.
