YA Science Fiction and Fantasy First Pages with Eric Smith
January 10th, 2019 - February 5th, 2019
with Eric Smith
Get feedback on the first 15 pages of your YA Science Fiction or Fantasy novel with literary agent Eric Smith of P.S. Literary. How it works: Submit your first pages to the group on January 10th, when the group officially kicks off. Over the next two and a half weeks, group members critique one another's work. Eric will post his written feedback towards the end of this time. After the critiques, Eric will hold a webinar for debrief and discussion, where each writer gets individual time to ask questions about their manuscript. This is a great opportunity to meet other writers, learn from their feedback, and get feedback from an agent who knows the publishing market.
Inked Voices & Eric Smith are pleased to offer a place in the workshop, free of cost, to a diverse writer or to a writer of an #ownvoices work. Apply: https://inkedvoices.typeform.com/to/Htb1JP
