FAQs

Do you accept manuscripts?

No - not regularly.  There are specific times throughout the year i.e., April and September when we have been known to ask for submissions.  That being said, if there is an opportunity that develops throughout the year, requiring fulfilling, we will place a notice on ELK Publishing in Opportunities. 

So, remember to check in regularly.

We focus on children's literature, YA books and the development of educational material, which are usually produced by our in-house authors.        


We are presently not accepting manuscripts.

Do you require artists/illustrators?

Yes.  From time to time ELK Publishing will require the assistance of exceptionally talented artists/illustrators.  Please check out opportunities or you can send us your details with a link to your bio portfolio with examples of your work.  We'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Do your in-house authors do school visits?

Yes. Our in-house authors will consider doing school visits, presentations and/or workshops.  Please check the individual author sites for details.

Can parents also purchase products from ELK Publishing?

Yes. At this stage, all requests for purchases are accepted by ELK Publishing.  If you are a teacher or your schools wishes to purchase bulk orders (semi-wholsale) or you have a fund-raising request, please drop us an e-mail at [email protected]

What is the estimated time of arrival for purchases?

Please allow 3-5 working days for Australian orders to be processed.  International orders will arrive 6-10 working days after dispatch. Due to Covid restrictions and the Xmas period orders may be delayed.  Please place all orders early. 

For purchasing details see Terms & Conditions.

If you have a query or your feel your product is late, please contact us.
