Authors and writers
Please note that all Usborne non-fiction books are written by in-house editors and writers. Vacancies are regularly advertised on our jobs page. No other submissions will be considered.
Fiction manuscripts must be submitted by a literary agent. We are not able to consider unsolicited manuscripts. Any unsolicited manuscripts sent to us will, regretfully, be returned unread. Please note that you must enclose an SAE in order for us to return your manuscript.
