Although the Write Group is indeed hosting a marathon, the original call to bring a 250-page excerpt to the “First Page” session was a tad much. They’ve informed us that your excerpt should be 250 WORDS (otherwise it’s really First Novel, not First Page.)

There will also be an interactive session of challenging writing execises in the Auditorium from 1 to 4:40 p.m.
