Enjoy our signature First Pages Pitch Contest with $250 prize money on offer. ‘First pages’ from aspiring authors are read by a narrator to industry experts who will provide a critique of chosen submissions. The session will provide other attendees with a chance to learn what attracts the attention of agents and publishers when seeking new historical fiction. Our judges are Cassandra di Bello (Allen & Unwin), literary agent Rochelle Fernandez (Alex Adsett Literary) and Sophie Masson (Eagle Books). Lucy Watson will act as narrator. CLICK here to learn how to submit. Entries limited to 8 people. Winners will receive $250 kindly donated by TCW plus a one year Associate Membership from the Australian Society of Authors.
