Free Critiques

Workshop Suspended?

Staying Home?

During these “stay at home” days, many writers are unable to gather for their workshops, classes, and interactions that help keep them motivated. To help in a small way, Marian Blue will be offering one free critique a week based on a random drawing. This will continue as long as the “stay at home” restriction is in place for Washington State.

To apply:

  • Send an email to Sunbreak Press with Free Critique in the subject line.
  • Attach, in a Word document, your manuscript.

Manuscript requirements:

  • Must be a Word document.
  • Must be 5,000 words or less.
  • Any genre (fiction, poetry, nonfiction), but only one complete work. (One poem, one short story, or one essay/memoir). Please don’t send selections out of larger works.

New Drawing Each Week

Every Wednesday, a random drawing will take place from all of those manuscripts submitted. If your work is selected, you’ll receive a critique via your return email address before the next drawing. If your work isn’t selected, it will be eligible for the next drawing.

Looking forward to reading your work

Wish more could be read, but time doesn’t allow. However, your critique will be thorough. You’ll receive a Word document response (with Track Changes) on your manuscript.
