☆ One-on-one meal with a faculty member of your choice (faculty choice on a first-come first-served basis).
☆ Guaranteed purchase of short story from at least one student by Galaxy's Edge magazine (a SFWA-approved/eligible venue).
☆ The head/editor of a major SF publisher reads your manuscript and tells you why she would buy or reject it. Invaluable feedback which writers rarely get (as one student put it, this alone was worth 'the price of admission').
☆The creator of the phenomenal 1632 universe (one of the most inclusive writing venues for new writers) will give a unique insider's look into how to write for it.
