"I got published!": Fleur Ferris

We love hearing from our students no matter what they have to say, but when we hear of a student being published, we just want to shout it from the rooftops! We’re a little scared of heights, so we’ll go with a blog post instead.

Fleur says:

When I was doing the ‘Writing Books for Children and Young Adults‘; course with you, agent, Tara Wynne, Curtis Brown Australia, offered me representation. Well, the submission process was very drawn out, but I am thrilled to tell you Random House is publishing my Young Adult book, RISK. It will be out mid next year.

Big thanks to Cathie Tasker who was so encouraging and helpful.

Congratulations Fleur! Wanna read what she wrote? Look forward to the release of RISK in mid 2015!
If you have a success story to share with us, you can do so right here. We’ll share it with the world!
