Editors Jennifer Wingertzahn (Clarion Books) and Susan Burke (Atheneum) will be offering one-on-one critique sessions with local authors at the “Critique Clinique” in Golden, Colo., as a part of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators’ (SCBWI) conference Sept. 23-24. Submitted manuscripts will first be reviewed by a panel of published authors who will make recommendations for the editorial critiques. You must be an attendee of the Fall Conference on Saturday, Sept. 23, to participate in the Clinique. Participants who do not receive a one-on-one with an editor will be eligible for a 10-minute pitch session with editor Erin Murphy of the Erin Murphy Literary Agency during the conference. She focuses primarily on picture books and on novels for middle-graders and young adults.
