Longleaf on the Half-Shell Sponsorship

Perhaps you have always wondered how you can support a literacy and literary arts non-profit? This option allows you to create a two-year scholarship or fellowship in your name while also purchasing a ‘special’ registration pass. With our Longleaf on the Half-shell, you will benefit from some face to face time with our faculty at a dinner even as you register for the full conference and become a sponsor for 2026 and 2027!

These sponsorships are limited to two individual donors each years. If you would like the option to support us while also registering for our full conference experience, then the ‘Longleaf on the Half-Shell’ sponsorship will provide sustaining funds for our conference (worth ~$6000), along with a full registration package that includes housing and a private evening with our headline writers (and other faculty and agents) at a special dinner in Grayton. Supporters will be provided lovely booked shared housing with our faculty or fellows for the duration of the conference and will enjoy all that our conference has to offer. Individual seats are limited (4), so register and support us today. Registration for this option will close when we hit capacity in the early Fall. This is not an option for groups.

NOTE: Locals who are considering this sponsorship option may contact us directly if housing is not needed during the week–in this case the price for our Longleaf on the Half-Shell is $8000 total!
