While there’s a considerable amount of information on the SCWC website, given its volume, finding specific information for new users can sometimes prove taxing. Particularly so on some mobile devices. Most answers, however, can be found on the following two pages:
But here’s are a few things to know right now…
You do not have to select which sessions to attend prior to the conference.
Other than with those workshops specifically flagged as limited in size and requiring advance sign-up—the two-part “Best Foot Forward: Polishing to Impress,” for example—you’re welcome to go to any sessions you wish.
What about Advance Submission Readers “To Be Determined?”
If you’ve registered for Advance Submission Reader(s) prior to their names being listed for selection in the shopping cart, please be sure to check the site’s “Latest News” periodically for an announcement of when they are. Better yet, subscribe to our .COMmunity newsletter (below) to receive periodic email updates and be alerted of when readers are open , as well as other important news related to the conference.
Reader selection generally opens two and a half months before submission deadline. If you’ve registered for a reader “to be determined,” once selection opens simply email Chrissie Barnett or Michael Steven Gregory directly with the names of your readers (1st Choice and Backup). Your choices will be confirmed and you’ll be good to go, so long as we receive your submission by the deadline posted.
Watch SCWC*TV!
There’s some 11 hours worth of free, often exclusive, video excerpts of SCWC Special Guest Speaker keynote discussions, workshops, short films made at the conference, and more on the site. Reward yourself and take the time to give them a perusal. You just never know what essential morsel of information you’ll find that can make all the difference in your writer’s journey. Go here.
