I have been a member of SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) AustraliaEast/New Zealand branch since about 2013. I just recently joined a SCBWI Critique Group in which a small group of writers share and critique each others manuscripts. Confidentiality and copyright is closely adhered to and critique is constructive and encouraging, for the benefit of all members.
I am excited to begin reading others stories and view new and colourful illustrations for early childhood picture books. To receive critique and comments about my own stories promises to be an enriching experience and will help me achieve my goals. Bring it on!
Just sent through two manuscripts for submission, hope for success.
