Scholastic Educational Publishing

Scholastic Education is happy to hear from teachers, consultants, authors or companies with specific publishing ideas suitable for the UK curriculum or an interest in working with us. Our main areas of publishing are schools/teachers (predominantly English and Maths) and home learning resources (Early Years, Primary resources, 11+, KS3 and GCSE). Our main age range is 3 – 16 years.

Scholastic Education will accept unsolicited manuscripts or enquires via email only – please send to enquiries@scholastic.co.uk.

Your email will be passed on to the Publishing Director for review who will subsequently be in contact to confirm any interest in including this on our publishing list. The Publishing Director aims to look at unsolicited manuscripts within six months of receiving them, however this is dependent on current workload so please be patient whilst awaiting a response.
