Submission Guidelines
"As an author, I of course have unbounded enthusiasm for the books I write, but one of the most amazing things about working with Stag Beetle Books is how much they share that passion. Laura and the entire Stag Beetle Books team treat each and every project with such care and attention to detail. They are helpful and encouraging, but always leave the author with a sense of ownership over their own books. I look forward to many more books to come!"
- Christopher Bodmann, Kid Comet
