Writers Critique Clinic

Get a critique on your work-in-progress from your friendly neighborhood authors.

Looking for solid advice on how to strengthen the first page of your manuscript to sell your story to a reader, agent or publisher? Pull a number and get in line for our first ever Writers Critique Clinic with authors Brooke L. French (Unnatural Intent, 2024), Rebecca Gomez Farrell (Wings Unfurled, 2022), Alessandra Harris (In the Shadow of Freedom, 2024), and R.L. King (The Alastair Stone Chronicles).
Find us on December 7, 2024 from 1-2 pm at:

Second Floor, Room 255
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Library
150 E San Fernando Street
San Jose, CA 95112

(You may park in the parking garage across the street, SJ 4th Street Garage) and bring in your parking receipt to be validated for free parking that day.

Instructions:
Print and bring the first page (around 500 words) of your work. Submissions for critique must be written in Arial, Courier or Times New Roman, 12-point font, and double-spaced. Try to arrive around 12:55 pm to select one of our featured authors to give you a free critique of your work on the spot. You will get to spend five minutes with the author of your choice for a speed-round of great advice and consultation, and if there’s time, choose another author and hear from more than one of our local professionals.

And after that, please attend our LocalLit (2-4:30 pm) event right across the hallway to meet more local authors and hear about their writing journeys.

Free Program. Adults (18+) and Teens (15+) are welcome!
