Workshop is Full --> Apologies and Confusion

It seems that our kidlit email has gone the way of left socks and disappeared into the ether somewhere.

The workshop is full, but it seems that we may have lost some entries.

If you entered, please forward your original email to us at AdventuresInYAPub at iCloud.com. I need to recalculate which entries we are going to be able to fit in.

And please, please, please accept my apologies! Anyone who does not get in this month, we will give you an automatic entry for next month.

Humbly (and stupidly)

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The first five pages of a manuscript may be all that agents, editors, and readers read, so the First Five Pages Workshop for young adult and middle grade fiction is here to help young adult and middle grade writers off to an unputdownable start with the help of three published authors and a literary agent over the course of three weeks.

We have a fabulous list of permanent workshop mentors including award-winners and NYT bestselling authors, two of whom are assigned to every manuscript in the workshop. In addition, we have a guest author each month who mentors all the workshop participants. During the third week, our guest literary agent also critiques not only the pages but also the pitch for the book and picks an overall workshop winner. The agent also chooses the strongest manuscript (or manuscripts) and awards a partial critique to an overall winner with potential priority submission opportunities for other selected participants, so not only is this a great learning opportunity, it's a great chance to get your novel published.
