Join us for a queries and first pages panel with editor Stephanie Stein (HarperCollins). Submit your work for a chance at live feedback from our panel–plus, of course, a publishing Q&A. This event is designed to be supportive, uplifting, encouraging–and 100% introvert-friendly. (Wear pajamas! We’ll never know.)
Queries and pages will be chosen at random, then given three minutes of feedback, so we can get through as many as possible.
A replay will be available 15 minutes after the end of the event, and we’ll send the link to submit your work when we register. This event will work on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

About the Instructor
Stephanie Stein
Stephanie Stein is a Senior Editor at Tor Books. Before joining the Tor team, she spent eleven years in marketing and editorial roles at HarperCollins Children’s Books, where she worked with acclaimed and bestselling YA and middle grade authors including Sarah Underwood, Shveta Thakrar, Ava Reid, Mark Oshiro, and Michael Leali, and was also the lead editor of Erin Hunter’s #1 bestelling Warriors series.
For her list at Tor, Stephanie is acquiring science fiction, fantasy, and fantasy romance for adult readers. She loves a smartly conceived retelling, an ornery dragon, a magical school, or a hypercompetent assassin, and she’s on the hunt for irresistibly cool magic, space opera that travels to strange new worlds and civilizations, and romance that uses speculative elements to heighten the emotional stakes and make you feel all the feels.
