The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Hopkins Press does not require potential contributors to pay an article submission fee in order to be considered for publication in any of the Journals that we publish. Any other website that purports to be affiliated with a Hopkins Press Journal and that requires you to pay an article submission fee is fraudulent. Do not provide payment information. Instead, we ask that you contact William Breichner, Hopkins Press Journals Publisher: wbreich1@jh.edu.

Review copies and all correspondence about reviews should be sent to:
