Summary:
This online course offers a full-day workshop which will provide you with ways to approach your writing, plus targeted, personalised feedback on your work from Jane Godwin, an experienced publisher and author of over forty books for young people. The course runs over four months and you can submit the same piece of work multiple times or a different work each session. If you are keen to workshop your writing with other writers, as well as receive specific feedback from Jane, then this is the opportunity for you!
Details
Workshop: Sunday 3 March, 10am – 4pm
Submission Deadlines: Pieces of up to 1000 words due Thursdays 11 April, 16 May, 13 June.
This season, Writers Victoria’s Online Feedback Clinics have been reimagined, making them more flexible for participants. For the full experience, you can sign up for a workshop to get started and meet your tutor before you submit work for feedback from the tutor and your peers across a three-month period via our online forum. If you’d prefer to just dip a toe into the clinics, you can sign up for a one-day workshop; if you’re more confident in your drafting skills, you can opt, instead, to focus solely on the feedback rounds. This page is for those who wish to register for the whole clinic.
For more information on our online feedback clinics, please read our FAQs.
You Will Learn:
- Different strategies to improve your writing
- How to give your work the best chance to be ready to submit to a publisher
- Specific techniques to apply when drafting
- A greater understanding of working with an illustrator
- An overview of the editorial process and publishing industry
