Fiction writers - our next fiction proposal workshop will be in September.  Book here.  
 
Damyanti Biswas who attended the May workshop said: 
 
 it was the workshop with Kirsty McLachlan and Jacq Burns that helped me polish up my one-line and single paragraph pitch to high sheen. Their incisive comments helped me cut through the waffle, and as a result I not only received multiple offers of representation, I'm also now signed up with the wonderful Ed Wilson from the Johnson & Alcock agency. Writing a publishable book is hard, but it is often harder still to bring it to the attention of the right people in the publishing industry.
 
Check out Damyanti's website here.
