Current, PAID members of Writers Anonymous or the Alabama State Poetry Society will receive a $15 discount on registration.

No. Only one discount can be taken.

Yes. By joining WA when you register, you will save $15. Registration is $50, and a separate annual membership in WA is $20. If you paid separately, the total cost would be $70. By joining now and paying the member rate plus a 1-year WA membership, the total cost will be $55 - a savings of $15.
     Similarly, if you join ASPS before the Conference, you can also pay the "Member" fee for registration.

Your registration entitles you to attend whatever sessions you wish during the Conference. Snacks will be provided during the day as well as water and coffee. In addition, your lunch will be provided. You will be able to network with other writers, purchase books from the book tables, and ask questions of the presenters.

Registration is easy!
You can register online using the Online Registration Form and paying with PayPal. You can also register by mailing in a Paper Registration Form with your check or money order. 

February 18, 2014 is the cutoff date for "Early Registration." The cost will increase by $10 for any registration completed online or postmarked after that date. This increase also applies to any registration at the door (if space is available).

Yes. However, in order to reserve a space for a book table, you must make your request at the bottom of your Registration Form. A space will be provided, but you must bring your own table (Not longer than 8 feet). Setting up and manning your table throughout the Conference remain your responsibility.  The facility will open at 6:30 a.m. on February 28th for authors to setup their book tables. Authors are responsible for their own sales tax.

Note: These book tables are for the use of authors to display and sell their own books. These tables are not for the use of those offering services or products, even if those services or products relate to writers or writing.

Yes. However, ALL guests, including people taking care of or “manning” your table must register and pay the applicable conference registration fee.

No. Initially, we thought we could put notes or outlines from the general and workshop sessions online. However, due to copyright constraints we will not able to do this. We apologize for any inconvenience.

If you cancel your registration for any reason on or before February 18, 2014, we will refund your payment, minus a $10 processing fee. There will be no refunds for registrations cancelled after February 14, 2014.
