Submissions

Slingshot welcomes submissions on the first day of the month. Please send submissions to hello@slingshotbooks.com.au

Before submitting your children’s illustrated book pitch, manuscript or portfolio, please learn more about who we are and what we stand for, so you can be sure you’re happy to join us.

Let’s get on the same page!

Slingshot is based on Wurundjeri land. This country was invaded, stolen, and remains under colonial occupation. Slingshot supports Indigenous resistance and sovereignty globally. It is important, in light of the prevalence of zionism within the Australian arts industries, to state that Slingshot recognises Palestinian resistance as an essential part of transnational Indigenous liberation struggles. Slingshot will not promote or sell through zionist channels, or channels that otherwise willfully sabotage Indigenous sovereignty. 

Slingshot will never engage with Amazon for a swathe of ethical reasons.

We are opposed to policing and incarceration.

We support the unionisation and labour rights struggle currently taking place in the publishing industry, both in Australia and overseas.

We note the imperialist, capitalist weaponisation of queerness: commodifying LGBTQIA+ identities and liberation struggles in an attempt to remain culturally relevant. Slingshot strongly supports LGBTQIA+ liberation within an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist framework. 

In instances where we share our politics with young readers, we do so in an honest, warm and age-appropriate manner. We are focussed on the experience of the child, who deserves narratives that are gripping, curious, entertaining, imaginative, and that honour their right to childhood.

Before contributing to Slingshot’s library, please consider whether this is in alignment with your own values. By virtue of collaborating with us, you will be contributing to a growing and committed public expression of these politics through Slingshot’s books and through its communication channels.

If this is in alignment with your values, then we’d be delighted to receive your submission!
