a children's book being read by two children

Publish with us — bring your educational idea to children who need it.

123 Publishing House has been publishing children's educational material since 1999. We welcome submissions from authors, illustrators, educators and content creators working in Arabic, English, or both.

What we publish

  • Children's storybooks — original stories with a clear educational or character-building purpose
  • Educational curricula — structured teaching material for early years and primary
  • Wall charts and classroom resources — visual teaching aids for schools
  • Educational songs — original lyrics and compositions for young learners
  • Learning games and activity books — interactive material children work through

What we look for

Work that teaches something specific and teaches it well. A story that carries a value through its events rather than stating it at the end. A chart a teacher can hang up and use immediately. Material written for a defined age group, in language that group actually understands.

Arabic submissions written originally in Arabic — not translated — are particularly welcome, as are bilingual concepts that work in both languages.

Why publish with us

  • Established distribution — our titles reach bookshops and schools across nine countries through a network of 28 distributors
  • Educational focus — we publish nothing else, so your work sits alongside material of the same kind
  • Production experience — laminated charts, audio integration, reading pen compatibility and print production handled in-house
  • Bilingual capability — Arabic and English produced to the same standard

How to submit

Complete the form below with your project title, its type, the age group you have written for, and a short summary of the idea. Our editorial team reviews every submission and will contact you to discuss it further.

You do not need a finished manuscript to submit — a clear concept and a sample are enough to start the conversation.
