Faculty Critique Sessions
A limited number of one on one critiques with our faculty will be available the day of the conference for $30.
Since we have a limited number of spaces, they are reserved for SCBWI members only.
Critique sessions will be filled in the order your manuscript or artwork is received.
We can't guarantee which faculty member you will meet with. All of our faculty are well qualified to give you a professional critique.
Manuscript critiques:
Submit one picture book manuscript (text only) OR the first 10 pages of a longer work with a two paragraph synopsis of your story.
It should be in manuscript style with one inch margins and double spacing.
Please include a cover page with your contact information.
Art critiques:
Submit 5 samples of artwork on no larger than 8 x 10 sheets, prior to the conference.
On the day of the conference you will bring your portfolio to be included in your critique session.
All artwork should be COPIES ONLY with your name on each piece.
If you choose to submit a dummy book, please specify if you want the art critiqued OR the manuscript critiqued.
