Reminder: Manuscripts Due

Just a reminder to all Chico Writer's Group members that manuscripts are due by noon Saturday, September 13th for our Sunday, September 21st meeting. 

Manuscripts should be emailed to 'Kathie dot blog at gmail dot com' in (listed in order of preference) *.doc, *.txt/*.rtf, or *.pdf format (note: you can download an Adobe Document Reader free by going to adobe.com). 

If there is anything in particular you wish the group to look for or would prefer not to have commented upon, please include that in the body of your email. 

Manuscript Formatting:

• Include the author's name, date of the critique and include page numbers whenever possible. 
• Use a serif font such as Times New Roman or Courier (helps differentiate between lower case L's and uppercase i's).
• Be no more than 10 pages (screenplays and plays may be longer) in length.
• Double space when able (preferred as it allows the critiquers to make comments).

The Lead Critiquers will be assigned when the manuscripts are forwarded to all members.  If you are not planning to attend or there's a possibility you won't be able to attend the entire meeting, please make sure you notify Kathie immediately so as to prevent confusion when the leads are assigned.  Only members in good standing are eligible for lead critique slots.

Member in Good Standing: A member whom has regularly attended meetings and has participated in the critique portion of the workshop.
