This year the conference will offer attendees the opportunity to meet one-on-one with one of our invited publishers. We have asked them to read and critique an example of your work in advance of the conference. We must limit the number of pages to twelve along with a two page synopsis of the manuscript. We strongly suggest that you send the first pages, to include the all important "hook." A fee of $25 must be paid in advance and the members will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis for a twenty minute meeting with the publisher/editor of their choice. This is a wonderful chance to have a professional not only critique your work, but possibly be interested enough in your efforts to ask to see more; the latter has happened many times at past conferences. Contact directly one of the publishers below with the manuscript(s)/synopsis you wish to present and they will schedule you. You may arrange more than one session/critique at twenty-five dollars each.
