This week saw the launch of a wonderful enterprise by SCBWI-BI - an anthology of excerpts from unpublished and unagented children's fiction writers. The submission details can be found at the Undiscovered Voices website. Six judges, made up of agents and editors, will choose the excerpts that make it into the final book, which will then be circulated around the industry and act as a unique platform for the chosen writers. The 2008 anthology was a resounding success and it was wonderful to watch many of the contributors go on to find agents and publishing deals. So if you have written a children's manuscript that's just waiting to be read by people who can make a difference - send in your extract! It could be the start of a fabulous journey. The deadline is Monday 1 June 2009.
