Personal, one-on-one critiques
First 10 Pages Critique (Optional Purchase)
Featured guests will privately critique the first 10 pages of one of your stories for its effectiveness in attracting readers.
Such a critique may look at how well the opening pages jumpstart the plot and fit its genre. How well a reader may feel like they know where they’re headed in the story. Whether the main character’s goal is already evident. Whether one conflict or more is already emerging.
