Due to the outstanding response, we can't accommodate all the qualified applicants in 2009. WE WILL GO TO NEW YORK IN 2010! Stay tuned for dates.
November 18-21, 2009
For four days, in the extraordinary setting of an Upper East-side mansion, 13 SMU authors will have the opportunity to live the literary life. Hear an honest and full critique of your manuscript submission from publishing professionals, enjoy meals and lectures with those in the business, and learn firsthand the intricacies of the publishing world.
Each year for the past 10, the program's qualified writers with a completed manuscript have traveled to New York to participate in this unprecedented opportunity. To date, 10 students of the SMU program have had their work published as a direct result of this seminar and SMU's connections in the publishing world. At the last seminar, one SMU writer was offered representation on the spot. Two others entertained three offers shortly thereafter--one just signed with Harper Collins for a spring, 2010 publication date. Could you be next?
