Manuscript Critique
In the weeks before the Seminar there will again be an opportunity to have your manuscript(s) critiqued by an instructor. The availability of this critique has been a huge help to students. The manuscripts must reach us a minimum of one week before the Seminar, by Friday, February 12, 2010. Manuscripts received after that time can only be critiqued on a case by case basis if the instructor has time. Manuscripts brought to the Seminar cannot be critiqued.
The critique by the instructor will be in written form attached to the manuscript. If you have questions about the critique, sit with the instructor at lunch or seek to meet them between workshops.
The fees for the critique are as follows: Book Proposal (only one) $20.00, Article (only one) $10.00, Devotionals (two maximum) $5.00 each, Poems (three maximum) $5.00 each. The check should be sent to Jon Drury, Redwood Chapel, 19300 Redwood Rd., Castro Valley, CA 94546.
