Do your opening words have readers begging for more? Can you grab their attention from the very first page? Let us be the judge!
Our presenter will read out the first page of your manuscript (anonymously) until a majority of our panel of judges ‘buzz’ the story to a stop. Discussion ensues on why they stopped it, what didn’t work and what did work. Don’t miss this chance to wow them with your engaging story openings and get immediate valuable feedback.
Our judges, subject to change, will be Gardner Dozois, Sandra Kasturi, Virginia O’Dine, Robert J Sawyer, and Michael Swanwick
To participate in SFContario Idol bring the first page of your manuscript, in an envelope, to registration by 1pm on Saturday. Put your name on the envelope, but not on your manuscript.
