RWA2019 First Page Reads Submission Form

Join host Sarah Wendell for RWA's First Page Reads event as a stellar lineup of editors and agents reveal what they're thinking about a manuscript's first page as they hear it live! They'll tell you what makes them pause, what draws them in, and, most importantly, what keeps them turning. And that's not all--one of the pages they discuss could be yours! Submit the first page of your WIP and we'll choose a random, anonymous assortment to be read and critiqued live at the event.
 
Submission Guidelines

First pages should be:
-1 page
-Double-spaced
