What is Brain Child Publishing?

Our mission is simple: to give powerful stories a voice and help readers discover their next favorite author.

Are you a traditional publisher or self-publishing imprint?

We are a small independent imprint, operating somewhere between traditional publishing and self-publishing. This allows our authors to retain full creative control and rights to their work, while benefiting from the professionalism, quality branding, and industry presence of a publishing house.

  • Children’s books developed in collaboration with young readers

  • Other high-quality fiction and non-fiction from our founding authors and select collaborators

Do you accept submissions from outside authors?

We would consider it. If you’d like us to review your work, please include either your full manuscript or a substantial sample, along with a brief description of your expectations from joining Brain Child Publishing.

  • Helps readers quickly identify books backed by a consistent standard of quality

  • Gives authors more credibility and visibility in a crowded market
