Early Registration Rates End Soon!

It's hard to believe September is just a few days away! For writers who haven't registered for the SCWW conference yet, you can still get the early bird rate. Just be sure to go online and register no later than 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2009. When the clock chimes midnight, rates will go up $50.

Also, Sept. 1, 2009, marks the closing of critiques. You'll be able to buy critiques through Tuesday, but you'll need to have your copies postmarked Sept. 1, and your e-mail copies will need to be in our inbox no later than 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2009.

There are still critique spaces available. Did you buy one during registration and want another? Just contact me (conference@myscww.org) and I'll walk you through the process of adding it to your registration.

In addition, there are still some pitches up for grabs. There's no limit to the number of pitches you can register for, and no deadline for signing up. However, these are going fast, so you'll want to register soon to get the best shot at your top choices. If you've already registered and want to add some pitches, just contact me (conference@myscww.org).

What questions about the conference? You can leave a comment below or feel free to e-mail me (conference@myscww) or the Conference Co-chair Lateia E. Sandifer. (lateia.sandifer@gmail.com). We're happy to help.

Critique Slots are Filling Up FAST!

I sat down with the latest batch of registrations for the conference today and critique spots---especially extendeds---are filling up very fast. We already have several faculty members who are sold out. Don't miss your chance to get a critique from your first choice faculty member.

If you plan to purchase a critique or pitch session for the conference, don't wait to register! All critiques must be received by September 1, 2009 and we cannot offer critiques past that date. Although that seems like a long time, it's not. Less than six weeks left!

We love it when you pay by check! Credit cards and debit cards charge SCWW a percentage every time we submit for payment. So, if you can pay by check, please do! It will mean that more of your money goes to support SCWW and the conference.
