FAQ

Do I have to sign-up for the sessions I wish to attend?
Nope. Once you have registered for the conference, you are welcome to attend any session. 

What are Quick Critiques and how do they work?
Quick Critiques provide an opportunity for you to talk about your work one-to-one with a professional writer. There are sessions for fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. The meetings are first-come, first-served; there is no sign-up process, no additional fee, and you don't send the work in in advance. Depending on time constraints, you'll get between five and ten minutes of attention, so don't bring too much with you -- a poem or two, a couple of pages of prose, etc. 

Is there an extra charge for the critiques?
There is no extra charge for the critiques.
