Critiques!

Are you ready for a challenge?  Do you want to know how a publisher might view your work? Our
critique service is your opportunity to find out. And as a special incentive, each student can receive
one FREE critique by a member of our faculty.

No doubt, attending a conference is a great way to advance your writing career.
And books can teach you a great deal about grammar and style.  But how about
your story, in particular?  How does it measure up?  Several of our faculty
members have agreed to provide critiques for our conferees.  This professional
review, a “big-picture” evaluation, can provide you with a valuable analysis of
your manuscript and writing skills.

Or suppose you'd like to have a second opinion, or an evaluation of another ten pages, or a
completely different manuscript. Additional critiques are available at the special rate of $30.00
each.  

Interested?  Prepare your manuscript double-spaced, and make sure your name appears in the
header on every page.  Use 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins on all sides.
Send it by email to crit@avwriters.com attached as a Word compatible (**.doc) file.  

All submissions must be received no later than
April 4, 2012. Your manuscript will then be
forwarded to a faculty member who handles your genre, and 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. Note: They are independent contractors,
    not employees of our organization, and they set their own policies and fees.
