MARCH WORKSHOPS
KATRINA MCKELVEY will be doing Zoom and phone manuscript assessments on Thursday, 6th March, via Writing NSW. This opportunity is ideal for beginning and emerging picture book authors.
Katrina McKelvey provided a brilliantly concise assessment with plenty of helpful suggestions. Katrina felt my manuscript was close to being ready to submit, it just needed a few minor tweaks. It was the best manuscript assessment I’ve experienced in my journey so far. Thank you, Katrina and Writers Centre NSW. – Bernice
