The Unpublished Picturebook from the east
The Unpublished Picturebook from the east project, initiated by the Yan Chang Literary Agency, is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to discovering exceptional unpublished works and talented picture book creators in China. Ultimately, our goal is to bring extraordinary stories to young readers worldwide.
regulations
We accept unpublished picturebook projects, including fiction and nonfiction picturebook, graphic novels, and comics. The submitted project must not have been published in any format. All submitted works will then undergo TWO rounds of selection run by the jury team.
The selected projects will be showcased at international book fairs and featured on our official website. They will have the opportunity to receive valuable feedback, as well as the potential to be translated and published. Additionally, these projects will be included in the latest Pictures and Words from the East catalogue for further promotion.
The Jury Team
This year, our jury team includes 10 overseas publishers and editors, one specialist in children’s literature from France, and one specialist in children’s picturebooks from China.
