Writers Conference

There's still time to register! We hope you've registered for this year's Let's Just Write! An Uncommon Writers Conference! It's right around the corner, so register now because you WON'T WANT TO MISS THESE DEADLINES:

SUBMIT your first chapter to be reviewed and critiqued by a publisher from the Small Press Panel (Saturday at 4:30). Send as a Word attachment to samantha@chicagowrites.org with "Submission for Publisher Panel" in the subject line. (I'm on that panel)

SUBMISSIONS for the Crafting a Killer First Page workshop (Sunday at 3:15 pm). DEADLINE: March 11. To Include your work for critique in the workshop, send the COMPLETE OPENING PROLOGUE OR CHAPTER (not just the first page) of your novel or memoir as a Word attachment to Ray Rhamey (ray@rayrhamey.com) with "Killer First Page Workshop" in the subject line. Ray will extract the first page (only the text, no names will be used) and put all the selections into a handout. You do not have to submit work to benefit from the workshop — the critiques will give you insights to apply to your own writing — but it's eye-opening to get feedback on your own work. SLOTS ARE LIMITED.

SUBMISSIONS for our live lit event, Let's Just Read! (Sunday at 4:45 pm). SPACE IS LIMITED and will go to the first 27 people who send their submissions. You will have TWO MINUTES to read (no exceptions), approximately 360 words. Send your selection as a Word document (not a PDF) to Kristin Oakley (kristinoakley@outlook.com) with "Let's Just Read!" in the subject line.
