We are proud to announce the following twelve stories and authors will be featured in the British SCBWI’s Undiscovered Voices 2010 anthology:
ADELE by Anne M Leone (Anne ML Anderson)
BACK FROM THE DEAD by Nick Cross
FIFTEEN DAYS WITHOUT A HEAD by Dave Cousins
ONE OF A KIND by Jude Ensaff (Najoud Ensaff)
FROM DARKNESS by Emily George
AT YELLOW LAKE by Jane McLoughlin
NOT JUST THE BLUES by Claire O'Brien
THE TRUTH ABOUT CELIA FROST by Paula Rawsthorne
VIVIAN DIVINE AND THE DAYS OF THE DEAD by Lauren Sabel
SLUGS IN THE TOILET by Lisa Joy Smith
BLINDING DARKNESS by Abbie Todd
BECOMING INVISIBLE by Yona Wiseman
We received nearly 150 submissions from SCBWI members. The response was beyond our wildest expectations both in terms of quantity and quality. These selected stories are a fantastic sample of the submissions we received. The judges endeavored to select a variety of voices, styles and genre from the anonymous submissions in an effort to demonstrate the array of talent in the British SCBWI.
Undiscovered Voices will be published in February 2010 and distributed at no cost to US and UK-based editors and agents focusing on children’s literature. Best-selling children’s author Melvin Burgess will write an introduction to the book, and we will include judges’ comments for each selected story appearing in the anthology. The book will be available for sale at British SCBWI events after its publication.
