We're doing first-page critiques again at TKZ

We're launching another round of first-page critiques  here at TKZ! You can send us the first page of your manuscript (anonymously, of course!), and we'll critique it. Sound good?

Here's how it works: Send the first page (350 words max) of your manuscript  as a Word attachment, along with the title, to the email address killzoneblog at gmail dot com. (We'll take the first 33 submissions we receive over a month's period, first come first served.) The pages will be divvied up among the Killers. From time to time we'll post each page, and do a critique. Everyone will be able to comment as well.

Last year we had great fun doing this exercise! We're looking forward to reading some of your pages!

  8. I hope you haven't gotten all of your entries yet since I just sent mine in...This should be a treasure trove of info either way, very excited to see what comes out of this!

  10. I only found your site this Monday through a fellow ROWer, and hope there are openings. But, what will be will be. I can always hope you will do things again next year, but I can try submitting now--what's the worst that happens? A rejection letter.
