FAQS DO I NEED TO SEND IN A MANUSCRIPT FOR THE CRITIQUE WHEN I SEND IN MY REGISTRATION?   No. First send your registration and the separate check to reserve your critique. Manuscripts will be sent to a different address, and must be received by October 1st.     CAN I PICK THE PERSON WHO CRITIQUES MY MANUSCRIPT?   We will be assigning critique slots on a first-come, first-filled basis, taking each faculty member's preferences into account. While we will try to honor requests of this nature we cannot guarantee anyone a particular critiquer.   WHAT IF I WANT TO SUBMIT MORE / LESS THAN 10 PAGES OF MY NOVEL FOR CRITIQUE?   You are welcome to submit fewer than 10 pages if you choose. For longer works, 10 pages plus a two-paragraph synopsis of the story is the maximum submission we can allow. Additional pages will be returned unread.   DO I NEED TO BRING MANUSCRIPTS TO SUBMIT TO THE FACULTY ON THE DAY OF THE CONFERENCE?   No. Conference participants will receive "coupons" allowing one manuscript submission to each editor / agent. These coupons will be good for 6 months after the conference, allowing participants to revise their manuscripts based on what they hear at the conference and send them directly to the editor / agent at a later date.   ARE THEIR ANY SPECIAL HOTEL RATES FOR OUT-OF-TOWN GUESTS? No, but there are many hotels downtown in a wide range of prices. St. Philip's College is a few mintues from the downtown area. Visit the online discount travel sites for the best rates, like www.orbitz.com or www.cheaptickets.com.
