Portfolio Critiques
Want to know what you specifically can do to make your work shine? You must be registered for the full conference to have an industry professional critique your portfolio at the conference. Conference attendees may purchase a total of one paid portfolio critique. To participate, select a paid portfolio critique during the registration process.
For paid feedback on picture book manuscripts with a dummy, see the Manuscript Critiques and Submissions page.
Individual PAID Face-to-Face Portfolio Critiques ($85)
(Bring your portfolio to the conference. Portfolios are NOT submitted in advance.)
Have your art critiqued by an art director for an additional fee of $85. To be scheduled for an individual paid portfolio critique, please check the appropriate box when you register online. Space is limited, so paid portfolio critiques will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Once space is filled, the option to register for a critique will disappear from the registration site. Conference fees and registration must be received by August 1, 2025, to participate. One paid portfolio critique per attendee. No refunds. See Portfolio Guidelines HERE.
