Artwork
Candlewick Press accepts unsolicited art samples and dummies from illustrators and agents. Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to each submission or query. If we find your style of illustration to be of interest for our upcoming books, we will certainly contact you.
Please provide the necessary contact information: name, email, telephone, address. We also appreciate knowing the medium used to create the work. Send non-returnable materials to:
Attn: Art Resource Coordinator
Candlewick Press
99 Dover Street
Somerville, MA 02144
Again, please do not send original art or materials you expect to be returned.
We ask that you do not call to check on the status of the materials either.
We will review your work, share it with art directors and editors, and file your work for future reference in our art department files if we think it is a style that may fit our publishing list.
Portfolios for review can be dropped off with the receptionist and picked up two weeks later during business hours (before 1 p.m. if on a summer Friday). The Art Resource Coordinator encloses a comment. No face-to-face reviews are available unless we request one. Please enclose your contact information.
If you would like to send an electronic file of your artwork, please send it in JPEG or PDF form to illustratorsubmissions@candlewick.com for the Art department.
Thank you for your interest in Candlewick!
