I am taking part in Pathways, which is a fantastic new programme for young and emerging children’s books and comics talent in the UK.
The Pathways into children’s publishing programme is a groundbreaking new two-year illustration programme for diverse, talented and ambitious artists taught by world-class illustrators and writers, university tutors, children’s editors and art directors. Pop Up Projects has partnered with House of Illustration in the UK and secured 12 publisher and 10 university affiliates who are giving money and time to this project to support the next generation of children’s illustrators!
The project aims to increase diversity and representation in children’s books. Help them find new and ethnically diverse illustration and comics talent from across the UK!
Applications are open until September 2nd. Enourage the young people you know to take part and make sure that they see themselves in the books they create.
