Silent Pitch Showcase
THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND: This is a FREE opportunity to display a visual representation of your writing project for our faculty to peruse at their leisure.
Mock Pile
SATURDAY SESSION: This is a FREE session where you can submit one anonymous MOCK QUERY for the opportunity to receive on the spot feedback from one faculty member in a small group setting. Due to time constraints, we regret that we may not get to all submissions. However, all participants can sit in and learn from the professional feedback in these sessions.
Believe Train: First Pages
SUNDAY SESSION: This is a FREE opportunity to receive live feedback in a large group session on the first 250 words of your manuscript (submitted anonymously). Feedback will be focused on the marketing question, "Who would this first page onboard/appeal to? Why? And what would make it more marketable?" We regret that there may not be time to review all submissions, but will try to accommodate a variety of categories and genres, and as many samples as possible.
