CRITIQUE CAFE FOR SCBWI MEMBERS
Wednesday, Feb. 8th, 7 - 8:30 PM
This is a New Program Just For Members
Location: Caffe Oggi, Mill Valley
Location: Caffe Oggi, 745 East Blithedale, Mill Valley, in the Whole Foods Center.
Cost: $15.00 includes a dessert or snack
(At the door, registration will be $20.)
NOTE: You do not need a PayPal account to register. Follow the links to pay by credit card if you don't have a PayPal account.
No-Host: Wine, Beer, Espresso drinks and Other Food
Be Green: Bring your Own Travel Cup/Mug
Here's What We'll Do:
1) Depending on how many people, we will break up into small groups according to region. Each region table will have a facilitator (just to explain the rules and keep the clock)
2) Each member should be prepared to pass out 3 pages of 1 manuscript (MS) to have members in the group critique.
3) A member will read 1 page out loud. The MS will be verbally critiqued by the group, 1 critiquer at a time.
4) This is an excellent time to meet members, learn about others' work, inquire about critique groups and those groups that might need members.
What You Need to Bring for Critique Cafe:
1) 8-10 copies of 3 pages of a manuscript you are working on 2) Note pad or computer/IPad to write down notes from critique and to take names of members who might be interested in forming a critque group or adding members to a current group
About the Wonderful Illustration Above
This delightful illustration was in our illustration database but we do not have the name of the illustator. If you are the illustrator, please let us know so we may credit you.
