IF you have a completed manuscript or are well advanced on your book, BAD offers you the opportunity to talk to fiction publisher Juliet Rogers (Echo Publishing) for a short 6-minute pitch session. If you’re at a very early stage of writing this is not for you. A workshop may a better place to start.

Not many slots are available. If you want to be considered, please send in an expression of interest to catherine@badsydney.com with a book outline and a pdf of your manuscript by 25 August at the latest.  We will let you know if you’ve been one of the lucky ones. If so you can then book and pay to secure your spot (fee $30). You will be sent more information to prepare your pitch and maximise your chances of success.
