We are delighted that you are joining us at the Michigan Christian Writers Conference this year!

As a benefit to our attendees, we are offering two opportunities to have critique meetings.

1. Pre-conference!
This will enable you to have time to make adjustments and edits according to the feedback received prior to any pitching sessions at the conference. These meetings will take place via Skype, FaceTime or Zoom by appointment with team member of your choice.

2. During Conference!
Just like a traditional 15-minute appointment, your pre-conference submission will be reviewed and discussed in person at the conference during with the team member of your choice’s open appointment schedule.

Payment and Time

Critiques cost $35 per critique session paid directly to the person performing the critique.

Each critique will last approximately twenty minutes pre-conference, or 15-minute in person a the conference. Please respect the time of person performing the critique.
