Every Kid Has A Book

Publishing houses in Manhattan rarely specialize in children’s literature the way Every Kid Has A Book does—most chase broader markets or niche adult genres. The operation runs out of 442 Broadway, a stretch of SoHo where old loft buildings still house small presses and design studios. Book publishers here tend to cluster near printers and binders; proximity matters when you’re moving stacks of manuscripts and proofs. If you’re curious about how a children’s imprint actually works, the address puts you within walking distance of a few other indie houses that might share similar workflows.

What sets this publisher apart is its singular focus on titles for young readers, though the exact list isn’t posted on the door. Directions are straightforward if you’re already in the neighborhood, and the map here will place you right at the building entrance. For anything beyond a quick visit—submissions, catalog requests, or general questions—call ahead; the office doesn’t keep retail hours.
