Take advantage of our Paid Critique opportunity! In a 20-minute phone call or FaceTime or Zoom after the conference, a faculty member of your choice will:

ALL THIS for only $40 paid directly to the critiquer!


 

A word from our Appointments Coordinator, Barbie Haley:

I don’t think I’ve ever learned as much as I have from professional edits of my work.

Folks spend thousands of dollars to earn a college degree.

What are you willing to spend to become an expert writer?

Dig deep. Sign up for a paid critique. Learn from the best! 

Here’s how it works . . .

It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to contact the faculty member of your choice using their email address provided below.
