Company Info:

Sleepy Hollow Books is a children's book publishing company based in Durham, North Carolina.

Our promise is to strengthen children’s connection to nature and to foster a sense of wonder, hope and possibility.

We are currently accepting submissions of original fiction for the middle grades. We are interested in stories that provide a transformative reading experience for preadolescents.

We believe that all children are gifted, that every voice deserves to be recognized and heard, and that our planet is our greatest teacher.

Because books are born of trees, we seek to use recycled papers in a way that is environmentally responsible and respectful.

Sleepy Hollow Books is a member of the Green Press Initiative.
