Picture Books, with Abigail Frank
March 3rd, 2020 - March 31st, 2020
with Brooke McIntyre
Preparing your picture book manuscript for submission? Get your manuscript critiqued by literary agent Abigail Frank, Associate Agent at Sanford J. Greenburger Associates. You'll also meet other serious kidlit writers, sharpen your eye by giving feedback and receive the benefits of workshopping in a group - like meeting other writers, learning by exchanging feedback, and learning from an agent's notes to your peers.
Participants will submit their manuscripts at the group kickoff date. Then, each writer will take the next few weeks to give (and receive) peer feedback. Abigail will post her feedback towards the end of that time. After critiques are complete, writers will participate in a group debrief call where each writer gets individual time with Abigail to address key feedback themes and discuss both manuscript and writing questions..
If the group is full, you may email support@inkedvoices.com to be placed on the waitlist. Inked Voices members are prioritized on the waitlist as a member benefit.
Inked Voices & Abigail Frank are pleased to offer a place in the workshop, free of cost, to a diverse writer. Apply by 2/10: https://inkedvoices.typeform.com/to/RLbPvz
