From the Highlights High Five guidelines:
- We're looking for new talent, fresh voices, nonfiction relevant to young children's daily lives, and stories that will grab preschoolers' attention.
- We're most interested in: stories and nonfiction. Stories should delight, engage, and inspire young children ages 2-6. If your story has a young child as the protagonist, that child should be the one to solve the dilemma. Stories should be paced so that they fit on four magazine pages, with a maximum of 160 words total. Nonfiction should connect to the elements of young children's daily lives. We're more interested in where vegetables grow than biographies.
- We're least interested in: poetry. Due to the number of poems we already have on hand, there are very few slots open for poems.
