Applications are now open for REP 2024, which will take place from Monday 29 April to Thursday 2 May 2024 at Q Station in Manly, Sydney.
Led by mentors, fifteen editors attend daily sessions where they work on an unpublished adult or YA manuscript that is currently in production. The program also includes a range of workshops and presentations on relevant topics, delivered by guest speakers. At the end of the week, the editor of the manuscript discusses with participants the key decisions and changes made during their editing process. Learn more about REP here.
