PB Dummy Reviews

Attendees may add one individual meeting with a faculty member—subject to availability.

Time allotment for individual meetings has been increased to 20 minutes.

Deadline to Register and Submit: July 25, 2024

Guidelines

Prepare a multipage PDF of your sketched book dummy (32 - 40 page layout)
One PDF file, only
Label your filename with your last name, title, the faculty's last name: E.g. LastName_Title_Faculty.pdf

PRO TIP: The faculty member will be critiquing the file you submit, so if you make changes to your file after submitting, they will no longer have the most updated version. These faculty spend time critiquing the version they have, so submit your FINALIZED version and do not make additional changes to your dummy after you submit it. Wait for faculty feedback and then make changes, that way you can incorporate their feedback into your revisions.

Check in at the Critique/Review desk 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. Zoom critiques/reviews will occur the week of Sept 9th.

Sessions are booked back to back—if you are late, your session will still end on time.
Missed appointments cannot be rescheduled.
Because we have guaranteed your payment to our faculty, missed appointments cannot be refunded.
Editors and agents provide submission opportunities to all attendees as part of this conference. Do not ask an editor or agent to take your full manuscript or to look at it during the conference.
Another attendee has paid for the appointment right after yours. Be considerate of this and exit the meeting when time is called.
