In  addition to the four free 15-minute appointments you receive (if you register for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday), I want to encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to have your work reviewed by the seasoned professional(s) of your choice (see below). Your critiquer will receive your manuscript pre-conference in order to review it before he or she meets with you for 30 minutes at the conference.

There is a charge of $35 for each critique, payable when you register. Since a limited number of consultations are available, we encourage you to register early to reserve your space so you will not be disappointed.

Your manuscript needs to be postmarked by April 17 and sent to CCWC Paid Critiques, 3605 West 94th Avenue, Westminster, CO 80031-3156.  Please include the transmittal form you will receive as part of your acknowledgment packet when you register.  If you are requesting a critique with Craig Bubeck or Sandra Bishop, you will need to submit your manuscript  to marjorie.vawter@gmail.com in Word or RTF. Deadline April 23.

Double space your manuscript leaving at least a 1" margin for comments from your critiquer. Limit 12 pages unless otherwise noted. Please do not exceed the requested page count.

My paid manuscript review gave me the most thorough
and helpful manuscript review I've had to date.

Photo shoot with Jodie Westfall. Are you using an out-of-date photograph? - If you're like most writers, you HATE having your picture taken and may be using one on your Web site or in your PR literature that is very old. Jodie Westfall, a professional photographer from Texas, is coming to CCWC and is available to spend 15 minutes with YOU. After taking a few minutes to get to know you and what  you need photos for, she will begin snapping pictures and give you a CD (copyright free) of all the photos she takes of you. The cost for this session is only $50, payable to Jodie. Jodie's work is excellent, and the price is a bargain especially since you will own the photos and will be able to use them without a copyright notice. You can find out more about Jodie at www.jodiewwestfallphotography.com.  To make an appointment, email wandadyson@aol.com. Please let Wanda know the days you will be at the conference and whether or not you are in a clinic. After you have registered for the conference and contacted Wanda for an appointment with Jodie, you will receive a Pay Pal invoice from Jodie. If you pay pre-conference, the price is $45 instead of $50.
