LongTale Publishing is a publisher of Children’s Chapter books and the head publishing sponsor to the Read3zero Literacy Foundation’s annual Anthology of Short Stories written by kids for kids. LongTale Publishing is based in Houston, TX and founded by author & CEO Melissa M. Williams.

At LongTale we value stories with good moral value and themes that represent acceptance and diversity. It is important for our young readers to relate to the fictional characters in our books as each of the elementary age characters go through easy to relate to and sometimes difficult situations. The books in the Iggy the Iguana series have been used as classroom read-alongs. The chapter books produced by LongTale have notable discussion topics throughout each chapter. Contact the publisher for classroom and Accelerated Reading questions.

LongTale Publishing is currently not taking submissions summer 2011.
