Over the past 20 years, Simon Cowell has created opportunities in Music and Television for emerging artists to showcase their talents and become household names. These opportunities have launched the careers of many artists all over the world. Now, Simon is expanding his commitment to the discovery of talent by creating an incredible opportunity for aspiring writers and storytellers to enter the world of publishing. 

In March, Simon and his son, Eric, announced that Wishfits was going to arrive into the world with a 7-book publishing deal with Hachette Children’s Group.  

Wishfits is a children’s book series aimed at children aged 3-5 and based in a fun, magical, positive and inclusive world filled with hybrid animals like Snogs, Shigers, Frogephants, and Chimpan-poos forming unlikely friendships and finding strengths in their differences. 

This project continues to build momentum and now we are searching for talented, undiscovered storytellers on Tongal, and inviting anyone, anywhere, and of any age to audition to be the co-writer of Wishfits with Simon and Eric! In Simon’s trademark talent show-style, the project will unfold over several phases leading up to 5 storytellers pitching their story ideas and writing talent to Simon, and one winner collaborating to bring this world to life.
