Private Read & Critiques

A list of 2010 LJWC faculty participating in Private Read & Critiques can be found on the Conference Registration page or on the Faculty & Staff page.

Many of our faculty make themselves accessible for a limited number of “Private Read & Critique” sessions. These meetings last between 15 and 25 minutes and require the participating attendee to preregister and submit materials as detailed below. The cost for each private read and critique is $50. Read and critiques are scheduled during normal conference hours at the convenience of the faculty members, beginning Saturday morning at 8:00AM.

 These staff members can be selected for private reads on the Conference Registration page. As our faculty increases, additional names of participating faculty members will be made available for private reads. You may register for a Private Read & Critique at any time before the cut-off Date of September 25, 2010.

As we send all Private Read & Critique submissions to our faculty members 4 weeks in advance of the Conference for review, should you register for a Private Read & Critique, the following must be received by us at the below-listed address no later than September 25, 2010:

La Jolla Writers Conference

P.O. Box 178122

 San Diego, CA 92177

  1. A double-spaced selection from 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.

  2. A one-page synopsis of the manuscript.

All submissions must be on time. Late submission will not be accepted or returned and there is no refund for failure to submit materials on time. 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.
