Critique meetings are held periodically at both our Columbus and Cincinnati area meetings (for schedule, see the meeting tab on the right)
To submit a manuscript for critique at a monthly meeting, please follow these guidelines:
You must be a member of SCBWI,
The manuscript must be unpublished.
Please limit your manuscript to about 500 words or
the complete picture book if it is under 500 words.
Bring 5 copies to share with the members.
Someone other than the author will read the manuscript aloud.
When offering comments keep in mind they should be helpful and kind.
When getting a critique please accept them in the spirit they are offered.
**Note: Our region facilitates a member-led critique group and critique partner match-up list. If you are interested in learning more about this service, please email us at ohiocensouth@scbwi.org.
