Do You Know What Sets the SWA Writers Workshop Apart from Other Writers Conferences?

2012 Poetry Instructor Ron Houchin

We offer free manuscript critiques – FREE! And we always have!  Every person attending at least 2 days of the Workshop can submit up to 3 manuscripts for critique. (One manuscript per category) Then you get a face-to-face meeting(s) during the Workshop to discuss your manuscript(s).

Most conferences charge $25, $50 or more for a single evaluation. SWA offers THREE....FREE!

Here is our category list and evaluators confirmed to date:  

• Novel: TBA
• Short Fiction: C.D. Mitchell
• Juvenile: Peggy Mercer
• Poetry: Peggy Mercer
• Nonfiction: Dahlynn McKowen

Full guidelines will be on the SWA website when we finalize our list.

But wait - There's MORE!

Everybody attending the Workshop can sign up to meet with our Agent-in-Residence, Carlie Webber. Now guess how much agent appointments costs.  Come on, guess!

Nothing! 

You can meet with our agent absolutely free!

We have other free stuff, but we'll share that later.  For now - Ready? Set. Write!
