SCBWI Mid-Atlantic First Pages Reading Event
The Front Porch
221 East Water Street
Charlottesville, VA 22902
Join the Mid-Atlantic SCBWI for two hours of fun in Charlottesville, VA, where kidlit pros across genres will share what keeps them reading past the first pages, why they might pause, and what we writers can do to improve our chances of achieving that perfect first-page-turn. Anyone attending may submit a 100-page sample of their work to be read aloud anonynmously during the event. Those offering feedback on the first-page samples include award-winning author Kathryn Erskine, and my literary agents Jacqui Lipton and Kelly Dyksterhouse of The Tobias Literary Agency. I'll be moderating! The cost is $50 for members/ $65 for non-members. For an additonal fee, panelists are offering critiques on sample pages.
