We have a limited supply of Written Critiques and Live Pitch slots available so plan to register early.
Eligibility to purchase: SCBWI premium members who are registered for our Saturday 9/21/24 in-person Writers & Illustrators Day conference have the option of adding ONE Written Critique (no live meeting) and/or ONE live Pitch occurring at our online Sunday 9/22/24 Zoom Pitchfest. * Note: Your paid SCBWI membership must be current and active at time of registration. If you are not sure of your status, contact SCBWI Headquarters for assistance. * Anyone who purchases one who is not eligible to do so will be canceled and a refund minus a $25 processing fee will be issued.
Read these requirements below FIRST then scroll down to see our list of Industry Experts offering Written Critiques. * Written critiques will be distributed at the end of the day at our in-person 9/21/24 Writers & Illustrators Day event in Camarillo. Critiques are written only and do NOT include any in-person meeting.
1. Written Critiques are available on a first-come first-serve basis __only_ during the initial registration process. * When you register online for the 9/21/24 in-person Writers & Illustrators Day conference, you will be asked if you want to add a Written Critique per the list of available slots listed next to each Industry Expert's name. Once an Industry Expert's supply has been exhausted, you will see the FULL icon by his or her name.
2. Download the manuscript critique submission form below and follow the required manuscript format and mail it in no later than the Saturday August 10th postmark deadline so that the Industry Expert has time to review your submission.
