Get a step up on your submission applications to publishers in a practical workshop of information and activities covering the do’s and don’ts of submitting your work, writing a pitch letter and perfecting your author bio.

Designed for writers with a polished manuscript ready to submit to agents and publishers, or writers with short stories looking to submit to journals and anthologies. Bring along a laptop or device with internet access for research, and a notebook/note-taking device to write with.

You are welcome to bring your own breakfast or snacks to eat during the workshop. There will be two small breaks of 15-20 minutes throughout the workshop.
