Start Planning For Our Next Writers' Workshop

The guidelines for our writers' workshop at Norwescon 37 on April 17-20, 2014, are now available!  If you've participated in one of our previous workshops, or inquired about them, you should already have received a notice.  If not, please visit the Norwescon website for our guidelines.

Here are the basics:

• In most circumstances we accept 2 pieces from any one person, only one of which may be a novel excerpt, and neither of which may be more than 10,000 words.
• Submissions will be critiqued in private, live sessions at Norwescon in 2014.  Most sessions use 4 critquers who are professional guests at the convention (almost always professionally published genre writers).
• We have certain requirements for submissions, including that you use proper manuscript format (and we WILL critique your format), send a cover letter, and that all stories be completed.
• Our deadline is VERY EARLY: December 1, 2013.  So if you'd like to submit, get hopping!  We set the deadline as late as we can each year and are not able to accept late submissions.
• We fill all the slots we can handle every year, so if you want to participate, we encourage to you to submit as early as possible.

  
Don't worry if you haven't been to a critique before, or if you don't feel that your work is perfect.  Writers at all levels are welcome to submit to the workshop!
