As a former Creative Director at Larrikin House, Managing Editor at Five Mile, and published author with an award-shortlisted series, Mary Anastasiou brings rare insight to both sides of the publishing process. She knows exactly what publishers are looking for, and exactly what holds most submissions back.

Choose from a written manuscript or illustration assessment, a deep-dive mentoring session, or a targeted workshop. Straight-talking, practical and genuinely useful.
