The YA market is flourishing in Australia but many emerging writers are unsure of how to attract the eyes of publishers.
Whether you have a developed manuscript or just a story idea, this hands-on workshop will help you navigate the road to publication.
Mark will cover topics such as how YA writing is different from other genres, what themes are relevant or acceptable, who is publishing YA in Australia, who are the gate-keepers and how much influence they exert in getting your book in front of young readers?
All these questions answered and more!
