Undiscovered Voices is an anthology of excerpts from unpublished children’s fiction from the members of SCBWI British Isles, as selected by a combination of editors and agents, produced free of charge by volunteers with the financial support of Working Partners. The printed anthology is sent to children’s book agents and editors to bring these undiscovered voices to the attention of industry professionals, in the hopes of getting the authors discovered.
From Undiscovered Voices 2008, eight of the twelve selected authors are now under contract to be published or are published. Four of the twelve had their excerpted novels contracted for publication, one won a book packager’s contract and the three had a subsequent book contracted for publication. Read more about how the project came together and the 2008 selected author's success stories.
From Undiscovered Voices 2010, we now have two of the authors and their excerpted novels under contract. Read about all the developments of the 2010 authors here.
