Picture Books, with Natascha Morris
January 7th, 2019 - February 6th, 2019
with Brooke McIntyre
Preparing your picture book manuscript for submission? Get your manuscript critiqued by Natascha Morris, Literary Agent with BookEnds Literary Agency. You'll also meet other serious kidlit writers, sharpen your eye by giving feedback and receive the benefits of workshopping with a group - like meeting other writers, and learning by exchanging feedback. How it works: Submit your manuscript to the group when the group officially kicks off on January 7th. Then, group members have 3 weeks to exchange feedback on one another's work. Natascha will post her critiques towards the end of that time. After critiques are complete, we will have a debrief call where each writer gets individual time with Natascha to address key feedback themes and discuss both manuscript and writing questions.
Inked Voices and Natascha Morris are pleased to offer a place in the workshop, free of cost, to a diverse writer. Apply: https://inkedvoices.typeform.com/to/bktiDx
