Children's guidelines

Christian Focus publishes biblically accurate books for adults and children. Our children's books are bright, fun and full of biblical truth.

Please consider whether your book fits with our publishing ethos. As an evangelical, Reformed, non-denominational publishing company, we believe that God's word is true and Jesus Christ is Lord. We aim to help children discover God and to inspire in them a love for the Bible. We do not publish children's fiction, poetry or rhyming books.

We welcome proposals of age-appropriate Bible teaching, apologetics and devotional books. We welcome biblically faithful books that help children to know and love God and the Bible.

You are not required to provide illustrations or artwork for children's manuscripts.

Series

We welcome proposals for our series. If your book could suit one, say so in the form.

Trailblazers

For readers aged 9–14: true stories of well-known Christians of the past, focusing on their love for the Lord Jesus. The books are biographies, not fiction, though they use imagined dialogue to bring the facts to life. Each includes Thinking Further questions and a timeline.

For a shorter book, have the full manuscript ready, in either PDF or Word (.docx) format, no larger than 10 MB.

For a book of ten chapters or more, have the following files ready before you start, in either PDF or Word (.docx) format, no larger than 10 MB each:

a synopsis
three sample chapters

By post

You may still post a proposal. We return material only when you have covered the postage. From outside the UK, that means international postage.
