AWC alumni
Rebecca Marshallsay on ‘Facing the Wave’ and becoming a published children’s author
Courses taken at AWC:
Writing Picture Books
Reinvent Yourself
Having completed a picture book manuscript, Rebecca turned to the Australian Writers’ Centre.
“I knew it was worth taking the time to workshop it a bit and, serendipitously, an AWC Writing Picture Books course was starting the following week. I took the leap and signed up straight away,” Rebecca says.
That manuscript became Facing the Wave and it has now been published by Larrikin House.
“I was very excited to be published from my first pitch and I know that the things I learned through the AWC helped me be as prepared as possible.”
