Undiscovered Voices is an initiative to help fresh new voices in children’s literature find agents, publishers and ultimately readers. We’re grateful for the support and sponsorship of Working Partners and the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) British Isles, and for the editors and judges who volunteer their time to help Undiscovered Voices happen!
