Otherwise, you may send by email attachment. Use the same formatting as for paper submissions, above. (MS Word files with .doc extension only, please.) Email to avwriters@yahoo.com. At that time we will send you an invoice for your registration fee (plus any applicable critique fees), which will enable you to make your remittance through Pay Pal. Your manuscript will then be forwarded to a faculty member who handles your genre.
By either method, all submissions must be received no later than April 1, 2009, in order to have your critiqued manuscript returned to you at the conference.
Critiques, Plan B
If you don't have your manuscript ready in time for pre-submission, all is not lost. Our panelists will be available for private 15-minute appointments, to take a quick look at your writing and offer their evaluations. In some cases, by mutual agreement, our speakers can make themselves available for ongoing critiques and mentoring after the conference. They are independent contractors, not employees of our organization, and they set their own policies and fees.
