Countdown to Christmas: Our Wishes for Undiscovered Voices Everywhere

Undiscovered Voices

Today is the day twelve undiscovered voices will be revealed ...

We send them huge

congratulations 

and hope they will

leap off the slushpile 

and onto the shelves.

But for all who remain undiscovered 

we offer these good wishes
