Writers and illustrators

We are looking for stories that are entertaining, educational and - at the moment this is the chief element - overtly Bahá'í. We give preference to stories based on Bahá'í history or Bahá'í administration (such as the 19 Day Feast, the Fund, the LSA). We are convinced that such topics need not be dry or boring or "too difficult" for children, providing they are clothed in imaginative, creative writing and illustrating.

There is a fairly good supply (in many languages) of excellent stories, produced by both Bahá'í and non-Bahá'í publishers, on themes relevant to children's personal and social development. Therefore, we are not actively looking for these types of stories at the moment. However should a good text of this sort land in our laps, we will certainly consider it.

Illustrations are vital to children's books.

We are always eager to hear from artists who are interested in illustrating books. Best is if we can have some sample illustrations which can help us match illustrators to stories. We encourage co-operation between the writer and illustrator of a book.

If you are interested, if you have something you would like to show us, please contact us before sending anything. We cannot guarantee that unsolicitated work will be returned.
