Middle Grade First Pages, with Stephanie Fretwell-Hill
January 11th, 2019 - February 13th, 2019
with Brooke McIntyre
Preparing your middle grade manuscript for submission? Get your opening pages critiqued by Stephanie Fretwell-Hill, Literary Agent with Red Fox Literary. 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 11th. Then, group members have 3 weeks to exchange feedback on one another's work. Stephanie 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 Stephanie to discuss both manuscript and writing questions.
Inked Voices & Stephanie Fretwell-Hill are pleased to offer a place in the workshop, free of cost, to a writer of color or to a writer of an #ownvoices work. Apply: https://inkedvoices.typeform.com/to/BQZ9wf
