Undiscovered Voices is an initiative by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) British Isles to help fresh, new voices in children’s literature – both writers and illustrators – find agents, publishers and ultimately readers through its Undiscovered Voices project. We’re grateful for the support and sponsorship of Working Partners, as well as the editors and judges who volunteer their time to help Undiscovered Voices happen! Please read the submissions details and criteria carefully.
