The shortlist of writers and illustrators to be featured in the Undiscovered Voices 2018 anthology will be selected from the list above and announced in early January.
As ever, the quality of submissions was extremely high and the judges had a very difficult time deciding on a longlist.
The Undiscovered Voices team endeavours to create an anthology that showcases the variety of writing and illustration available from SCBWI members in the British Isles and the European Union. The goal of the anthology is not only to help the selected authors and illustrators to find agents and editors, but also to promote the quality of work abounding in SCBWI in Europe.
The stories and illustrations were submitted anonymously and selected by a distinguished panel of industry experts:
- Chrissie Boehm, Artful Doodlers
- Claire Cartey, Holroyde Cartey
- Lauren Fortune, Scholastic
- Andrea Kearny, Bloomsbury Publishing
- Sarah Leonard, Orchard Books
- Joanna Moult, Skylark Literary Agency
- Polly Nolan, The Greenhouse Literary Agency
- Gillie Russell, Aitken Alexander Associates
- Hannah Sheppard, DHH Literary Agency
- Kirsty Stansfield, Nosy Crow
- Will Steele, Osborne Books
- Nghiem Ta, Walker Books
Congratulations to the talented Undiscovered Voices longlisted writers and illustrators!
All the best,
The Undiscovered Voices Team
