FYI....went to the Pop-Up link and it says they're currently closed.

My submission was on here, and heavily critiqued. I got some valuable insight from Pete, the guests and the genius room on how to improve the first 700 words. I would highly recommend submitting here, as even if your first 700 words turn out to be awful (mine were), you can learn the things you need to fix them - and often the problem from your book stems from the beginning of it - in my case too much Exposition.

Just had my submission critiqued. Amazing experience. I can't applaud this agent enough. Professional, sincere and incredibly helpful. We all complain that our submissions end in a slush pile and we never know what went wrong or how close we might have got. THIS agent SHOWS you. With a professional review panel and even more importantly the subscribers who also live comment, an author can see, real time, exactly how their submission landed. Of course it painful and nerve wracking and sometimes just plain awful, but it sheds light on an otherwise elusive process. Every agent you've submitted to will, to a degree or another, critique your submission like this agent does, the bonus here is you get to SEE the feedback. Live. Great experience. Submit NOW.

While his review process via YouTube is entertaining and helpful, he cites that people wanting his services for free may have to wait a long time to hear back/have their submission reviewed. He charges a subscription fee for additional review, bumping you up in priority list etc but does not guarantee any sort of representation or constructive feedback. I have not used his services myself but digging a little online I found several people with complaints about how this may be a money-grab. Be wary and read all fine-print!
