Save the Date: Summer Proofreading Slam

The Board is developing a schedule of in-person and online Proofreading Slams to support members witih a work-in-progress. The first in-person Slam will be held on Saturday, September 7, at 2:15pm (following the Manhattan Mystery Reading) at the 58th Street Library. Board member Nev March, Sheila Mayhew, or Beth Mannion will sit with you to proofread up to 20 pages of your WIP. All participants must attend with printed (1″ margins, double-spaced) pages. If your WIP is already under contract, please also attend with your press’s style sheet (this need not be printed if it’s long; you can call it up on your laptop or tablet … just not on a phone, please, too small!). We’ll be sending out an email blast closer to the date with more details and for members to register. We expect to be able to accomodate 6-9 authors in this first Slam.

Come at noon for the author readings; the proofreading Slam will begin immediately after.
