Submission for the Workshop
The way the workshop works best is if you could:

1) submit a version of your query or five-page sample in a Google Doc that allows for commenting (the Editable Version.) While I can't guarantee that I'll make additional comments on this document, on occasion, I have written notes that don't make it into the workshop.

2) Then, I'll need another version of the same submission that you can make a "No Copy/No Download" version (The Workshop Version) that I'll link to so participants can read the feedback with the proper context. INSTRUCTIONS on the "No Copy/No Download" can be found here - https://support.google.com/docs/answer/2494893

** Please make sure to add the link to each version of your submission below (and make sure it's shareable).
