Hi!
I saw that they've got a new line, Spark, and they're looking for YA and new adult novels in various genre. It's for e-publishing first if I'm not mistaken and they accept unagented writers. :)

According to Benjamin Adams, one of their senior editors, they do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. I saw him on the editors panel at a recent conference (5/2012)

Post master returns email as the address not being at the server. Yet the web site shows this email address as the correct one to send to.

They say that they don't accept e-mail submissions. Snail mail only

Tried to do e-mail submission, but e-mail address did not accept my e-mail, it got bounced back. I used the one from QueryTracker AND from Bloomsbury's website: bloomsbury.kids@bloomsburyusa.com and it did NOT work?? Does anyone have a different address for submissions? ~ Tina P.

Zooks what did you submit? Just a query? From their guidelines it's not 100% clear.

I was looking for email-queries, but on the site it says only snail mail subs. It's kind of confusing because the guidelines are right under the email address. But maybe QT wants to change that detail?

Their Website says:
"We will continue to accept unsolicited manuscripts because we believe in the policy, but we can contact you ONLY if we are interested in acquiring your work."
