Submission Guidelines

The Junior Library Guild is always on the lookout for new sources of great books. Publishers interested in submitting materials for review should contact our editorial office (see the bottom of this page) for a complete set of guidelines, requirements, and due dates. If you are an author or illustrator and would like your book to be considered for selection by JLG, please have your publisher contact us. We regret that we cannot work directly with authors.

JLG selects books twice each year for its fall and spring seasons. For inclusion in our spring list, which covers April through September, books must have publication dates falling between January and September of that year. Submission deadlines for inclusion in our spring list fall in November of each year. Our fall season include books with publication dates from July through March of the following year. Submission deadlines for fall are in May of each year.

Please note that JLG only reviews new release books. Previously published books or re-releases will not be considered. JLG accepts submissions of soft cover books only for its PBH Reading Level: Paperbacks High School (Grades 10 & up). We also occasionally accept  graphic novels in soft cover format.
