Many of our faculty make themselves accessible for a limited number of “Private Read & Critique” sessions. These meetings last between 15 and 25 minutes. The cost for each private read and critique is $50. Read and critiques are usually scheduled during normal conference hours at the convenience of the faculty members.
Once the 2008 LJWC faculty has been announced, a list will be provided of all of the faculty members offering Private Read & Critique sessions.
If you register prior to the announcement of the faculty and prepay for a Private Critique, a conference representative will contact you prior to publishing the faculty list to give you priority selection of the preferred faculty reader with whom you would like to meet for a read and critique.
Once posted, we will make every effort to keep the list updated and accurate, though there may be lag time between receiving conference applications and updating the website. Should you request a Private Read & Critique, the following must be received by us at the below-listed address no later than October 1, 2008:
La Jolla Writers Conference
P.O. Box 178122San Diego, CA 92177
A double-spaced copy of your manuscript of no more than 12 pages for each faculty member with whom you will be meeting, plus one extra copy of each submission for us to keep on hand.
- A one-page synopsis.
All submissions must be on time. Late submission will not be accepted or returned. While attendees enjoy the benefits of one-on-one sessions, our conference is designed with the intention of creating a very social atmosphere with a freely accessible faculty. Rest assured that if you do not participate in a Private R &C, there will be ample opportunity to interact with our faculty.
