How can I view the event?
Once you’ve purchased a ticket or a membership (https://manuscriptacademy.com/membership), login and head to https://manuscriptacademy.com/your-live-event#view. You’ll either see a countdown (if the event hasn’t started yet) or the event. If it looks strange, please click the “Need Help? Click Here” button.
If you’re still having problems, please update your Zoom, then click the “Need Help” button again.
If all else fails, the replay will be available for 30 days, and you have the same odds of feedback whether or not you attend live.

I'm having trouble buying a ticket.

If that doesn’t work, please try checking out with an alternate email address.
If it still won’t work, please get in touch. You can also pay via Paypal and we can add you manually if need be–so long as you ask with plenty of time before the event.
Will there be closed captions?
Yes! Both the live event and the replay will offer closed captions.
For the live event, please click “Show Captions” at the bottom of your the event or your Zoom window. (This may work better if you first click the “Need Help? Click Here” button below the embedded event.)
For the replay, simply click the [CC] icon, and autogenerated captions will display.
I can't make it live. Do I have the same odds of feedback?
Yes! You have the exact same odds of feedback whether you attend live or watch the replay.
The only way to change your odds is to send your work late. For best odds, please send your work early, ideally by 6pm ET the day of the event or, at the latest, one hour before the event begins.
