Chronicle Books 2016-2017


We covered Chronicle Books, an independent publisher located in San Francisco, back in July of 2015 (find the post here), but decided to revisit them again this year. Their children's division publishes about 90 titles per year and they do accept unsolicited manuscripts. Read "So, You've Written a Children's Book...Now What?" to learn more about their submissions process.
