Supporting Writers Who Have Been Historically Excluded from Children’s Publishing
Launched in January 2021, the purpose of this mentorship is to support works in progress of emerging writers whose access to children’s publishing may have been limited. Our goal is to provide guidance on development of book ideas for children and young adults with a view to publication, whether or not at Annick, and to provide insight into the editorial process and the publishing industry.
Applications for the 2023 mentorship are now closed. Please check back in summer 2024 for more information on the next round of the program!
About Annick Press:
Founded in 1975, in Toronto, Ontario, Annick Press publishes 20-25 books a year for children and youth. Our editorial vision has always been to publish books that reflect the society we live in; the content in our books reflects a range of people, characters, and experiences that help enrich and inform the conversations happening in the real world. We strive for this in all the books we publish, which range from board books for the very young to picture books for emerging readers, to novels and non-fiction for middle readers and young adults.
