ConQuesT 39 Writer's Workshop

ConQuesT Writer's WorkshopWriter's Workshop

Do you write science fiction, fantasy, or horror? Would you like some professional feedback in a one-on-one setting? Have you always been interested in attending a writing workshop, but they’ve always been too far away or too expensive? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you’re ready to attend the ConQuesT 39 Writer’s Workshop. Space will be limited to no more than ten (10) participants. All entries must include a $25.00 fee per manuscript (does not include a convention membership), a completed Workshop Registration form, and a clean copy of the manuscript.

There are two submission categories: short story and novel.  Maximum size of a submission is 10,000 words. If submission in a portion of a novel, it should include the first three (3) chapters (within the word restriction), and should include a short outline or synopsis of the entire book.

All manuscripts must be in proper form: 1-inch margins on all side;
lines must be double-spaced, font 12-point (Times New Roman preferred)

First page must include:
1. Author's name and address in upper left corner
2. Approximate word count in upper right corner
3. Story title and byline (start halfway down page)
4. Story starts double-spaced (at least) under byline
5. Upper right corner of second page (and all following pages) must include:
a. Story title (shortened, if necessary)
b.  Author's last name and page number
Example: Heinlein/Troopers/12

And finally: Do not use boldface. You may use either italics or underlining, but please be consistent.  Use a clean ribbon and high quality mode in printing.  Send in manuscript well before the deadline to assure yourself a place in the workshop.
