It is so easy to get caught up in the technicalities of writing, and worrying about something getting published. But here's the thing ... even when you worry about all that, it STILL may not get published, so you may as well have fun and write what you love along the way!

SCBWI Tasmania invite you to join us for this exciting webinar with acclaimed author Adam Wallace as he takes us on a journey to making writing fun again and, in the process, to writing manuscripts that are a success whether they are picked up by a publisher or not.

Multi-talented, NYT best-selling author Adam Wallace has sold over 11 million books world-wide. With a foot in both trade and self-publishing camps Adam has lots of wisdom to share. Join us online on Thursday, 14th November from 7 - 8.30pm (AEDT daylight saving time); Adam's presentation will be followed by a live Q&A.

Tickets:

Tickets $25 SCBWI Members; $35 Non-members.
This webinar will be recorded and a link made available for 14 days after the event.
