WHAT CYA CONFERENCE DID FOR ME

I flew up from Melbourne to attend the CYA conference in 2018. I had a fantastic manuscript review with Davina Bell and came away with a possible contract offer for my first picture book as an author. After a further meeting at the Affirm Press office back in Melbourne with Davina and Clair Hume, the contract offer came through early 2019. Just one year later, How To Be a Giraffe was released. Thank you CYA!
