On this episode of The Kidlit Social we welcome three respected industry pros, who will help you answer the question:
Is My Manuscript is Ready to Submit?
You’ll discover the signs to look for when your work is submission ready, and why such knowledge is vital to keeping the doors open to submissions at overwhelmed publishers and literary agencies.
Our panel includes:
Lynne Marie, author of 6 published picture books, CBI Editor/Agent Spotlight writer, owner Rate Your Story manuscript critique service.
Alison Weiss, Acquisitions Editor, Pixel + Ink
Marisa Cleveland, Author and Executive Director/Agent at The Seymour Agency
What a great way to kick off a successful 2022. Enjoy!
