Middle Grade First Pages, with Stephanie Fretwell-Hill
October 21st, 2020 - November 16th, 2020
with Brooke McIntyre
Get feedback on your first 3,750 words (15 pages) with literary agent Stephanie Fretwell-Hill of Red Fox Literary, and a small group of writers. Participants will submit their pages at the event start and then have two and a half weeks to critique one another's work. Stephanie will post her feedback at the end of this timeframe. After the critiques, we'll hold a webinar debrief, where each person is given time to ask Stephanie questions about their manuscript feedback, as well as other questions. This is a great opportunity to meet other middle grade writers, learn from their feedback, and to get feedback from an agent familiar with the children's publishing market.
