Our Three-Day Critique Workshop is an opportunity for you to submit the first 4000 words of your novel, short story, or whatever project you are working on, for critique in a group of up to 8 peers led by an industry professional. This is a great way to polish up those first pages and first chapter. Submissions are due six weeks before the event via our Discord server. Registrants will receive login information a few weeks before submissions are due. There will also be opportunity to pitch to an agent, as well as one-hour workshops and panel presentations on craft, querying, the publishing industry, and more. Optional casual gatherings provide opportunities to get to know other writers as well as authors, editors, and agents.

This conference makes sure writers’ needs are met such as making adjustments for my personal conflicts. Everybody is welcomed such as ensuring everybody has lunch partners. Met great people. Learned a lot about writing.
~ PN
The small size of the event made it seem like everyone was involved and interacting.
~ SC
It was nice to be listened to, instead of shut down which is what I often get. It made me feel supported and valued. I liked feeling like a participant. That’s unique. So, thank you for that.
~ JH
Honestly, I think this was far and away the best ‘bang for your buck’ conference I have ever attended.
~ KB

~ KK
Had a blast! Thanks everyone!
~ BB
Very productive weekend, and had the best time with y’all!!
~ EW
+1 to having a great time! Thank you to all the organizers for a great conference!
~ ST
I too had a superlative time navigating the intricacies of word thingies with the fine operatives disguised as workshop attendees who also do, or do not karaoke sufficiently to elicit applause, or at least a grimace, and therefor are thereto ascribed to do it again at some point into the future, god willing.
