Manuscript Consultations
Manuscript consultations are an opportunity for conference participants to receive individual feedback on their writing manuscript. The consultation includes a 30-minute one-on-one meeting with a conference instructor or panelist to discuss the manuscript, which the participant will send in advance. The submitted work can be up to 15 pages of prose or 8 pages of poetry (double-spaced, 12-point font).
Adding a manuscription consultation is optional. The additional fee for a manuscript consultation is $125.
You will select your consultant using the online registration form. Some faculty members are only available for a limited number of consutations, so we recommend early registration.
