Agents and editors are so swamped with submissions that they look for quick ways to reject everything in their slush piles. How can your writing get their attention? Send your first two pages to HRW and hear how some of the world's most critical readers would react to your writing.
Send five (5) copies of the first two pages (formatted per instructions below) of your submission to:
P.O. Box 7607
Norfolk, VA 23509-0607
Please use proper format (see below). All genres welcome. No fee. One submission per attendee. Authors remain anonymous. Identifying information will be deleted after registration is confirmed. Manuscripts will be pre-selected to ensure variety. Submissions will not be returned, and authors will not be notified ahead of time if their work has been chosen for either critique session.
Required format:
Name and address in upper left-hand corner (single spaced). Type of work in upper right-hand corner. TITLE and By (Your Name), on separate lines, centered, ½ way down the page. Text starts ¾ of the way down the page, 12 pt. font, double spaced, 25-line/page maximum. 8.5”x11” paper. All margins at least 1 inch. (This means that you’ll be sending approximately no more than the FIRST 30-32 lines of your story. If you’re sending more than that, you have not formatted your work properly.)
NOTE: Only pre-registered conference attendees are eligible to submit work for the First-Pages Critique sessions.
