Undiscovered Voices

In very exciting news, one of my pictures was longlisted for the Undiscovered Voices competition 2018 run by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).

Undiscovered Voices is a competition for unpublished and unagented children’s book writers and illustrators living in the EU, that runs every two years. The winning stories and illustrations appear in an anthology. I didn’t make it that far, but here’s my name on the honorary mentions list!

There were three briefs this year for illustrators, including one to illustrate a scene from a myth – hence my picture of Scylla and Charybdis. Celebrity judges were Frances Hardinge and Alexis Deacon, so they’ve presumably seen my picture now!

Here it is:
