Annick Press has recruited Melanie Little as editor-at-large for a teen fiction series, Single Voice. Already launched in France by Actes Sud, three English translations will be published in spring 2010, and Annick will acquire original titles to extend the series. “Delivered through the authentic voice of a teen narrator, these stories resonate with emotional honesty.”

Little will also acquire and edit essays for a forthcoming young adult anthology.
