Join us on August 15th from noon until 3 PM for a speed-dating style event designed to help put you and your work in front of as many potential critique partners (beta readers, alpha readers, etc) as possible within a three-hour time frame. Finding a good critique partner is a bit like dating, and we hope this event will help you find at least one match that is productive for the both of you. This event is free and open to the public (just like all our events). This is NOT an actual dating event; we just really like the format. Watch for more info in the coming days!
