Free Virtual Mini-critique!
To help prepare for Golden Gate Day, we're offering a chance to receive constructive verbal feedback on your first page. Those who submit their first pages will remain anonymous. All SCBWI members are welcome to sign up for a critique or just to listen. If we receive more first pages than we can reasonably critique, priority will be given to Golden Gate Day registrants (in-person and virtual). The online mini-critique will take place on Saturday, August 17 from 11:00 am - 12:30 pm PST.
After registering for this free mini-critique, you may submit your first page (around 200 words) via our form [link to: https://forms.gle/p4L4ed6JU23GwgSo9] before Thursday, August 15, 11:59 PM PST.
Please register so we have a headcount. Zoom link will be emailed to all registrants before the event.
