Little Vine publishes beautifully illustrated picture books for children ages 0–8 that encourage curiosity, kindness, and confidence to bloom. Because illustration is such an integral part of picture book storytelling, we primarily acquire projects from author-illustrator teams or creators who both write and illustrate their own books.
When submitting a picture book project, please send a single PDF that presents the story with text and sample artwork shown together on each spread.
Send your submission to jamie@trellispress.com.
Text-only submissions
If you’ve written a manuscript but do not yet have an illustrator, you’re welcome to submit it. While we rarely acquire text-only projects, we will reach out if we believe there’s a strong opportunity to develop it further.
Illustration portfolios
If you’re an illustrator seeking future collaborations, please send a link to your online portfolio.
Please note submissions to Little Vine are currently closed and will reopen April 5, 2027.
