Lobster Press publishes high-quality fiction and nonfiction
books for children, tweens, teens, and their families. We are
currently seeking:

• Original fiction targeted at young adults aged 15+. We
are searching for contemporary, character-driven work with
edgy plot lines. We are particularly interested in materials
that would appeal to boys, although we are open to all YA
queries. Ideally, protagonists will be between 15 and 18
years old. Word count 30,000 – 50,000.

• High interest fiction for struggling or reluctant readers
aged 12–18. We are looking for fast-paced, high-interest
subject matter appropriate for 12-18 year olds and written
at an 8-11 year old reading level. Word count 15,000-25,000.

• Millennium Generation Series nonfiction books or children's
reference books for youths aged 8-12, 12-15, or 15+.

• Christmas picture book manuscripts for children ages 7
and under.
