First Friday, our monthly conversation with an industry professional, is a chance for our community to learn more about the writing and publishing industry. This August, we invited you to our online event with Eugen Bacon, award-winning author, editor, and the judge and mentor for the Writing NSW Diverse Writers Mentorship Program in 2024.
Watch the Zoom recording here.
Catch up on our First Friday Zoom recording as Writing NSW Operations Coordinator Andrew Glassop chats with Eugen about her insights on mentorships, her career as an author and editor, and her advice for emerging writers.
