WHAT CYA CONFERENCE DID FOR ME
CYA has been a wonderful place to contact with other authors and learn more about the world of writing for children. I had a wonderful manuscript assessment with Leanne Lim from Ethicool books CYA 2021. She helped me with tips to polish my manuscript and it has been accepted for publication with EK Books in 2023. Thank you to all the team at CYA for all the work you put in to support writers and illustrators who create for children and young adults!
