Get feedback on your work from a publishing professional. You will be allocated a twenty minute session

Following Publishing Day on Saturday 31stMay, we hold script consultations with agents a month later on Saturday 28th June and Sunday 29th June. These are aimed at students in their second year, those on the Advanced Writers Workshops and alumni of the programme.You must have completed the first draft of your manuscript/ collection of stories in order to qualify for a script consultation. If you haven't yet finished that first draft, then you are welcome to come back and have a script consultation at any time after finishing the course. We have many alumni who attend several years later.During the script consultation, you will have an opportunity to discuss your work in a twenty minute one-to-one consultation with one of our visiting agents. You will need to prepare:<ul><li>A one-page synopsis of your work including whether it is a work of fiction or non-fiction (biography, autobiography, memoir, travel writing etc). If fiction, what is the genre.</li><li>A short biography that includes relevant experience (no more than 150 words)</li><li>An extract (preferably from the first chapter/lead story) of between 2,500 – 3,000 words.
