for the upcoming April conference, might be looking for you. Here’s
what she has in mind…
I’m Clelia Gore,
literary agent specializing in children’s books at the Mercer
Island-based Martin Literary Management. I recently realized that the
Kraken, the mythical sea beast that has been having a bit of a pop
culture moment in the last few years, would make for a great picture
book protagonist. As far as I know, there aren’t really any Kraken
picture books in the current marketplace, and I think the right book
would be an easy sell to publishers. I have already received some
editorial interest for this idea. I am looking for a modern, humorous,
quirky, and beautifully illustrated picture book. Perhaps someone has a
manuscript that already exists, in which case, I would love to see it.
If not, I’d like some author/illustrators to take a “krack” at writing a
Kraken picture book and send me manuscripts and some sample artwork
(i.e. a mock up of a spread). I’d love to see samples by February 15th.
They can send their submission to me at Clelia@martinliterarymanagement.com. Please indicate “Kraken submission” in the subject line.
