Building Your Revision Toolbox: What Resources You Need to Revise; Optional Paid Critiques

Building Your Revision Toolbox: What Resources You Need to Revise, and How to Find More, AC Gaughen
Thank you for joining us for AC Gaughen’s free webinar! Successful revision can be tricky, and one thing is clear–successfully revising one book or craft problem does not guarantee you’ll know how to solve the next one. This workshop offers a quick overview of different types of revision problems and ways to start outlining your revision plan.

AC will offer 10 critiques, She will look at 10-12 pages (3000 words maximum) of a middle grade or young adult novel, preferably the first pages of the story. Please send a short (1-2 paragraph) synopsis of your manuscript. The critiques cost $75 and will be on a first come, first served basis. After these 10 are sold out, we will begin a waiting list that you may join.

Before you sign up for a critique, take a look at AC’s bio below and think about whether she’d be a good “fit” for your manuscript. We’ll be hosting more of these sessions in the upcoming weeks and there will be more critique opportunities with others. Please visit this page to see our schedule for more 30 + 10 Craft & Critique sessions.

What to Expect From Your Critique
Our faculty will generously give notes on your project, including an overview on what’s working and questions they have on structure, content, or composition. In addition, feedback within the submission will be given through manuscript notes as necessary.

How to Submit Your Manuscript
Within 24 hours of registering for a critique session, you will receive an email with instructions on uploading your work.  The faculty member will provide you with written feedback within 4-6 weeks. Please understand that challenges may mitigate this timeline, and we will be in direct contact with them and provide you with updates if there are any changes to the turnaround time.
