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 find agents, publishers and ultimately readers. 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!
