I hope some of you attended the amazing free conference at http://writeoncon.com. It was held from the 16th to the 18th and was the most concentrated source of agent critique giveaways I have ever seen. I don't see anything that says these giveaways aren't still accepting entries, so check it out!

Write on Con sounds pretty epic, and critique give aways are always really helpful. I like the pitch one too. Thanks for the heads up!
