Picture Books, with Natalie Lakosil, Spring 2021
April 6th, 2021 - May 3rd, 2021
with Brooke McIntyre
Preparing your work for submission? In this intimate workshop, you'll receive market and editorial feedback on a picture book manuscript from Natalie Lakosil, Literary Agent at Bradford Literary Agency, and you will exchange critiques with a small group of peers.
This workshop is geared towards writers who are getting ready to query, agented and/or published.
You'll submit a single manuscript at the group start, then spend the next weeks critiquing peer stories. Natalie Lakosil will submit her notes near the critique deadline. After critiques are complete, we will have a debrief call where each writer gets individual time with Natalie to address key feedback themes and brainstorm next steps for their manuscript.
The group workshop format accelerates learning because, not only will you receive feedback on your own work, you will also be able to see and hear Natalie's feedback on the group's stories, which you will have read and critiqued.
Each agent and editor event we offer also comes with a submission opportunity.
Inked Voices & Natalie Lakosil are pleased to offer a place in the workshop, free of cost, to a diverse writer. Apply by 3/11: https://inkedvoices.typeform.com/to/rXy21apI
