This is a past course.

In this rare opportunity you will meet with one of Australia’s leading publishers, who will provide feedback in person on the state of your manuscript. During this 25-minute session, the publisher will be able to answer your queries about the viability of the work in progress and where it could potentially land in the market.

In addition, on completion of this meeting, you will receive a professional copy-edit on your submitted work from a Senior Editor, which will not only help improve your copy but give you an insight into how the editorial process works for books heading to market.

Please note Annette is unable to give feedback on sci-fi, children’s books or poetry.
