First Page workshop with Vicky Weber. Participants can submit and have their first pages of one of their manuscripts. It may be from picture books, chapter books, middle grade or YA novels.

Questions may be asked during the workshop and participation encouraged. There will be no recordings at this workshop.

Bio: Vicky Weber is a former elementary school teacher turned bestselling children’s book author and literary agent at Creative Media Agency. She represents commercial fiction – board books through adult – but specializes in children’s literature. In all manuscripts, she wants intensity in the writing—to be dropped into the moment and experience the story alongside the characters. If a book is high-concept, commercial fiction with beautiful, literary-leaning prose, it’s probably up her alley.

How to format a First Page.
