Critique Opportunities at Black Hills Conference

Hey, Everybody!

Here's some great news. Speakers at the upcoming SCBWI Black Hills conference will be offering critiques.

However, critique spots are limited.

The postmark deadline for manuscript submissions is October 17, 2009. However, please send your submission BEFORE this date. These critique spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't delay!

Critique fee is $40.00 (plus your conference registration fee). You'll receive a written critique and a 15-minute face-to-face meeting with the person who has critiqued your manuscript. This is a great opportunity.

For more details about registration and payment options, head over to www.dakotas-scbwi.org

Have a great week!

NEW Dakotas-SCBWI Website

Hey, Everybody!

I've got good news. Our old scbwidakotas website is history. (Please don't even think of visiting it again. Threats, viruses, and other such ugliness have ruined it.)

Instead . . . drum roll . . . go to www.dakotas-scbwi.org Thanks to web-hero Patti Kurtz, we're up and running with a whole new look!

Happy Sunday!
