Exclusive live online seminar with children's publisher, Nikita Gill.
Live online, Wednesday, June 21 at 8 AM London, 5 PM Sydney, and 7 PM Auckland. Strictly limited places are available now for aspiring children's authors worldwide.
Dear writer,
As an established, award-winning children’s publisher, we are deeply passionate about finding and publishing stories that will delight children and parents alike. We care about books with a message—but this message is often hard to find when hopeful authors first submit their titles to publishers like us.
If you’ve been sending your books to publishers but not hearing back, then it's possible that structural, formatting and tactical mistakes are forcing publishers to move your book to the reject pile even if they would otherwise be thrilled to bring it to the world.
We can help you fix that and give your book a real chance at success.
Join our children’s publisher for an exclusive online seminar to learn exactly what you need to do to get your manuscript ready for publication
In an interactive three-hour Zoom session, Nikita Gill will take you by the hand and walk you through exactly what it takes to get your book ready for publication. With many real-world examples and opportunities to ask questions throughout, you will learn…
