All attendees are eligible to submit ONE of the following: a 75-word pitch, a one-page query letter, or the first 250 words of a project. This is built into the registration fee and is at no additional cost to attendees.
We recognized that participants are at different stages in their writing journey, and we want to be supportive. In the querying stage and need feedback on whether or not your query is working? Working on a pitch and need guidance? Need feedback on the execution of the opening lines of your project? Submit! Again, send ONLY ONE of the above.
The moderator will read as many submissions as possible in the 90-minute allotted time. Anna will provide live feedback on what is working in your submission and what could be improved upon.
*Note: participation in the Live Feedback session is for receiving feedback. This is not a pitch or query session.
