I've seen quite a lot of hype about them via my social media feed recently. I guess they are releasing quite a few YA titles next year. Some of their subimprints already do a lot of SFF titles.
My agent has just sold my debut contemporary YA novel, MAYBE IN PARIS, to Sky Pony Press! MIP is a sibling-focused story, with only a dash of a romantic subplot, not ending in a happily-ever-after. We chose Sky Pony over an R&R with a Big 5 imprint because the editor, Nicole Frail, fell in love with the story as a sibling story. She's the only editor who didn't request me to bulk up the romance. This won big, big points for me. It will be released spring 2017!
Is yours a picture book, or for older kids. I have nieces and nephews from newborn to teen in my family and am always looking for gifts.

I saw this on Twitter last night! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations and let us know your experiences!
They are very nice folks. You can email any one of their editors and that editor will send you a complete list of editors and what they are looking for, along with their email addresses. They can be slow to respond to queries. I'd rate their contract as satisfactory,
Asking for someone else. They say there is an open call for Talos publishing, a subsidiary of Skyhorse Publishing, which is a sub of Arcadia Publishing group. Talos is asking for the usual, plus of query letter, a 1 to 2 page synopsis, and a sample chapter or two. No problem so for until this...Market analysis, including research on competitive titles. To me, competitive titles is subjective and its the publishers job to analysis competitive books before they buy the manuscript. Does this sound right to anyone? Does anyone know anything about Talos Publishing and their reputation...
Wow. Most places just say they expect an author to do their own marketing so do you have a social media following.
