Knowly Reading List · Submissions open
Calling all authors and publishers!
If you publish books for children, we want to read them. Selected titles become part of the Knowly Reading List and are built right into the curriculum our homeschool families use every day.
Free to submit. All published books welcome. Every submission is read by our team.
Great books, woven into the school day.
A title chosen for the shelf doesn't just get a mention. Our team builds it into a Knowly curriculum, with lessons, discussion questions, and activities written around the book, so families read it as part of their school day and come back to it all year.
Reviewed by our team.
Every book we receive is read and considered by real people who know what homeschool families are looking for.
Built into a curriculum.

Who your book reaches here.
Knowly is a K–12 homeschool platform built on one-to-one mastery instruction, grounded in fifty years of cognitive science and delivered at home, aligned with the values each family holds. We launch in January 2027, and families are signing up now. Our parents choose their own books and read together every day, so a title on our shelf lands with readers who are genuinely looking for it.
- Homeschool families who buy books rather than borrow a classroom set
- Parents reading aloud with children across several grades at once
- A platform where your book is used in lessons, not just listed
- Founded and run by a homeschooling mom of three and children’s book author

Questions
Does it cost anything to submit?
No. Submitting is free, and we never charge for a book to be considered or chosen.
Do you accept self-published books?
Yes! All published books are welcome, however you brought them into the world.
Do you accept books that aren’t published yet?
Right now we are considering only published works as we will need to offer copies to parents to purchase for their students.
What happens if my book is selected?
We’ll reach out to talk it through with you. Our team builds lessons and activities around your book, and it joins the Knowly Reading List for our families.
How am I compensated?
Having your book on our Knowly platform will offer such great opportunities for families to be introduced to and read your book. Some books will become integral parts of the curriculum and families will be required to purchase the book for their students.
Who owns the curriculum you write around my book?
We write and own the lessons and activities. Your book and its contents remain entirely yours, and we’re glad to put our agreement in writing.
How long does a review take?
About 2 weeks. We write to everyone who submits, whether or not a title is chosen this round.
Can I submit more than one book?
Absolutely. Submit a series or your whole catalog in one form.
Do you review books with faith-based content?
Absolutely! The beauty of Knowly Education is we are able to offer curriculum specifically based off of families’ values. We would welcome a collection of books to offer to our faith-filled families.
We can't wait to read it.
Whether you're an author with one beloved title or a publisher with a whole season of them, we'd be delighted to see your books. Send them our way and let's get them into the hands of families who will love them.
