At Working Partners, we believe that great stories and unique voices go hand-in-hand to create successful, engaging books. The publishing industry always needs new talent, and organizations like SCBWI go a long way to assist committed aspiring writers in standing out from the crowd.
We are keen to support unpublished writers and believe in helping writers develop. It is a long-standing policy for our editorial team to offer constructive criticism to every writer who tries out for one of our projects. We are proud to work with a number of writers who found their first publication credit with us and then went on to become well established in their own right.
Working Partners were delighted to sponsor all the anthologies so far and look forward to the next. This exciting SCBWI initiative provides a great vehicle for showcasing strong new talent to publishers and agents.
