o Submit your original work of science fiction, fantasy, or horror fiction along with a $60 check to the ArmadilloCon23 office postmarked no later than October 28, 2001. (Only one submission, only your own work, and only fiction, please!) It can be a short story, or the first chapter(s) of a novel, but maximum length is 5000 words. Manuscripts longer than the maximum will be shortened at the ArmadilloCon23 offices. Format your manuscript professionally-print double-spaced on one side of a letter-sized white sheet of paper, using 12-point Courier or Times typeface, and indicate new paragraphs with a 5-space tab (not an extra line). Most writing books and many on-line sources describe what professional formatting looks like if you have questions! o With the work you submit, you will also need to provide us with permission to photocopy your story for distribution to the other workshoppers. You can add a sentence to the first page, or include a separate page, that says: "For the purposes of the ArmadilloCon23 writers workshop only, I hereby give permission to the representatives of ArmadilloCon23 to photocopy my original work of fiction entitled _____ ." And then sign the release. o You will receive the manuscripts of the other students in your group about two weeks before the workshop for you to review and critique ahead of time. The bulk of the workshop time will be taken up by breaking into smaller groups for in-depth critiques of your manuscripts. The balance of the workshop will include writers' exercises, lectures, handouts, etc. from the pro writers/editors. |
