Middle Grade First Pages, with Alex Slater

January 17th, 2018 - February 13th, 2018

with Brooke McIntyre

Group started
Get feedback on the first 3750 words (15 pages) of your MG novel with literary agent Alex Slater of Trident Media Group. How it works: Submit your first pages to the group on January 17th, when the group officially kicks off. After that, there is a two-week period where you and your group members will exchange feedback on one another's work. Alex will post his feedback towards the end of that time. After critiquing your work, Alex will hold a webinar where each writer gets individual time to ask questions, brainstorm ideas and review feedback. This is a great opportunity to meet other writers, learn from their feedback, and get feedback from an agent who knows the publishing market.

Inked Voices & Alex Slater are pleased to offer a place in the workshop, free of cost, to a diverse writer or to a writer of an #ownvoices work. Learn more:https://inkedvoices.typeform.com/to/bZ62qH
