Sit down with award-winning author and writing mentor Laurie Steed for a 45-minute meeting to discuss the next steps in your writing career. Bring all your curly questions about the writing life, from submitting your work for publication, to applying for funding, to bouncing back from rejection and creating a sustainable, fulfilling writing career.

There are only six places available, spaced throughout the day, so numbers are limited.

Please note that your meeting will be forty-five minutes long and will focus on career development, not feedback on your writing. Timeslots are available between 10am and 4pm. When you have booked into the event, email Deanne to lock in your meeting time.
