Hi, Brian.

I’m over the moon excited to share that I am now represented by Lynnette Novak of The Seymour Agency! Feeling both humbled and extremely proud that my picture books and middle grade novel will be represented by such an amazing agent and wonderful agency. 

Thank you for your guidance and expertise along the way!

Stacey Moffat

Hi, Brian.

Thank-you to you and my workshop group for your help with the story, “Red and Wolfe.” It has been accepted into the summer edition of Gramarye.

Hi, Brian.

I hope you are keeping well. 

I would like to introduce my new self-published children's picture book called David's Belly Button Buddy. This story gently deals with childhood anxiety in a fun and entertaining way. I am very pleased with how it turned out and have had nothing but positive feedback.

Leslie Hughes

David's Belly Button Buddy is available at Chapters/Indigo here.

 

Hi, Brian!

I've taken a couple of your courses, and someone suggested I let you know that I won the Toronto Star Short Story Contest 2024!!

Here's a link to the article in The Star! It was a very, very surreal experience:-)

Hope you are doing well!

All the best,

Dawn Miller
