The small print: All attendees, guests, faculty, agents, editors, and registrants MUST TEST NEGATIVE or SHOW PROOF OF UP-TO-DATE VACCINATION/BOOSTER for COVID. We will do our best to monitor all negative tests (should show negative on first day and we will test throughout the week) and we expect our guests to follow all safety guidelines outlined for group interactions by the CDC. As a reminder, all payments for full enrollment with housing (F2F) cannot be refunded after March 25th (it is likely that the reservation will not be filled, which costs the conference substantial losses). We also cannot offer a refund for full registration (F2F) without housing after April 15th (it is unlikely that we would be able to fill that workshop spot, which also costs us dearly). If you have registered after April 15th, we will refund 50%.
Thank you for being conscientious of our situation: we roll almost all our finances into our financial aid programs and this conference is run by two writers who only want to give back to their community of international writers. Any empty seats or empty rooms are actual tangible losses that come directly out or our pockets (and therefore those deserving emerging writers we bring to Florida!)
There will be a service fee for refunds before these dates ($200 for registrations with housing, $100 for registrations without housing and conference registration without workshops). All other sales are final.
PLEASE NOTE FOR 2024: In the event of a full conference cancellation, we will offer full refunds or options to register at cost for future conferences with funds from cancelled conference. If we cancel our conference but are able to provide a remote option, we will offer you a full cancellation refund or fair offers for changes to your enrollment options.
All a la carte options are first-come, first-serve, but will remain open throughout the conference. We do fill up so it is a good idea to purchase before the month of May
All payments should go through our online portal if possible but checks can be sent to:
Longleaf Educational Services, 174 Watercolor Way, Ste. 103 #266, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459.
We can take online and payment directly during the conference as well.
The smaller small print? We will do everything we can to be fair, but every penny we lose due to late cancellations means loss of opportunities for other writers and impacts our ability to offer financial aid year to year.
