Events
KidLitVic 2020 Virtual Writers’ Showcase
Virtual Writers’ Showcase is the opportunity for all 2020 KidLitVic ticketh buyers to meet the publishers in an online virtual meeting. It is the chance for publishing professionals to know more about you and your work. They want to have conversations with the creators. These sessions will offer you the unique opportunity to meet and showcase your work to TWO publishing professionals. What is better than gaining the insights of one publisher? Hearing the insights of two publishers.

But how do you know if you’re ready to submit your manuscript to an agent for consideration? It is hard for any writer to know if their work is really ready – an opinion from an expert is invaluable.
