Thinking about signing up for a critique round table at conference? Act now, because registration is required and registration for those sessions closes this week (July 15).
The critique round table sessions are among the most popular offerings at RMFW Colorado Gold. Three and a half hours in length, the round tables offer you a chance to receive detailed critique on ten pages of your work and allow you the time to give feedback on the work of the other members in your group.
The round tables are a unique opportunity to experience specific critique with other writers as well as an agent or editor.
This year, we have 15 sessions to choose from, monitored by an attending agent or editor. Attendees may sign up for one or two round tables. Sessions are offered Friday morning at 8:00 AM and Friday afternoon at 1:00 PM. The tables are open to 8 critique participants and 2 auditors.
Critique participants: You will submit the first ten pages of your manuscript, plus a one-page synopsis of your story, to be critiqued by the agent/editor of your choice as well as by the other participants at your table.
Critique Auditors will only observe; you will neither submit pages nor offer critiques to participants. This is a great way to see how critique works and be a fly on the wall. Hear other authors’ feedback on the submitted work and listen as the attending agent or editor shares their insights.
Once registration closes, participants will receive further instructions from RMFW volunteer, Scott Brendel, who manages all the things with Round Table Critiques, and will provide details on everything, including where and when to submit your pages, which will be due in August.
These sessions are a $40 add on for participants, $15 for auditors. Deadline to register is this Friday, July 15!
It still says “deadline to submit pages” is this Saturday – but it’s just for registration, right?
Ack! Thanks Terri. I’ve fixed it. Yes… pages are NOT due until August. You’ll get an email with details on submissions.
