Youth Programs

Author/Illustrator (Children’s)

The Author/Illustrator (Children's) Standing Order Program covers new hardcover and library binding titles for ages 0-12, including Picture Books, Easy Readers, Juvenile Fiction, Juvenile Nonfiction, and Graphic Novels. The program also includes audio formats that are released within six months of the print copy. If a Contributor included as an offering on this program authors a work, that title (provided it is age-appropriate, and is not novelty, a reprint, etc) will always be included on your selection lists. If a Contributor only illustrates a work, that title will be included on your selection lists only if it is in picture book or graphic novel format.

Please check your selection lists for any title duplication due to both Author and Illustrator enrollment.
