Manuscript and Portfolio Critiques
Limited critiques are available, so reserve yours early! Participants must register and pay for the conference before being assigned a review. Critiquers include selected faculty and published regional members experienced with critiquing. We’ll do our best to match your work to the expertise of the reviewer on a first come, first served basis. Second critiques will be assigned only after all first critique requests are filled and if received by the deadline of February 12, 2011.
To have a manuscript critiqued:
- Register for the conference and include an extra $50 (per critique) in your registration payment.
- Email up to 15 double-spaced pages of one manuscript (including age group, genre, a one-paragraph summary, and your phone number) to Naomi Milliner at naomiwm@verizon.net.
- Snail mail a printed copy to Naomi Milliner, P.O. Box 253, Olney, MD 20832.
To request an art portfolio critique, include the $45 dollar fee with your conference registration. Send Susan Detwiler an email <susandetwiler@comcast.net> to notify her. DO NOT send original artwork in the mail.
Please note that the deadline is Saturday, February 12, 2011! Prior to the conference, you will be assigned a 15-minute time to meet with the critiquer. Questions: Contact Naomi at naomiwm@verizon.net.
Hope to see you at the conference on Saturday, March 12, 2011!
