The
ArmadilloCon
Writers' Workshop
has become a
major event for
aspiring SF/F
writers. On the
Friday of the
convention, you
will have the
opportunity to
have your work
critiqued by
major pro editors
and writers.
Breakout sessions
will cover craft,
markets, the
dos and don’ts
of preparing
your work for
professional
publication,
and more. Discussions
range from the
basics of grammar
and style to
plot, theme,
character, and
setting.
You
will get an in-depth
critique of your
work from the
teacher or teachers
in your group
as well as from
your peers. This
roundtable style
critique session
is invaluable
for learning
what works, what
doesn’t,
and how to edit
your work.
Registration

What
Happens When
You Enroll
About
two weeks before
the workshop

the manuscripts
of the other
students in your
group along with
other materials
concerning the

your manuscripts.
The balance of
the workshop
will include
lectures, discussions,
writers' exercises,
handouts, etc.
from the pro
writers/editors.
