Are there any NI children's fiction writers out there? If so, I would love to connect for discussions and advice! I've just finished the first draft of my first middle grade fiction story and am tentatively taking the next steps towards editing etc.
Areas of interest
Hi Laura,
Congrats on finishing that first draft! First drafts can often feel like the hardest thing to get down on the page, so well done.
I'd recommend checking out the SCBWI Ireland (Ireland and Northern Ireland) groups as they will likely have some really useful resources and a great community!

They announce meet-ups in Belfast and other locations on their Twitter/Instagram so it's worth keeping an eye on that.
