How I Got Published with Steph Thwaites & Cynthia Murphy

We’re delighted to share this recording of our How I Got Published webinar (which took place on Thurs 28 Oct 2023) – with special panellist speakers Steph Thwaites, Curtis Brown literary agent, and her client Cynthia Murphy, YA horror author (The Midnight Game, Win, Lose, Kill, Die and Last One to Die) and viral TikTok sensation. Cynthia was a student on our Writing YA & Children’s Fiction course in 2015.

This webinar – hosted by Abby Parsons, Senior Courses Manager at CBC – explores Cynthia's time studying with us and how she worked with her literary agent to get Last One to Die ready to submit to publishers, advice on writing for young people and the publishing process, including how to hook a literary agent.

This special event is part of our celebrations to mark the landmark moment of 200 former students getting major publishing deals. Learn more here: https://www.curtisbrowncreative.co.uk...
