IUWC Registration
Writers' Conference 2012
We encourage early registration for workshop participants. This year we have transitioned to an online registration system. Please read the following instructions before clicking on the "REGISTER" link below. You will also find detailed instruction as you fill out the online registration form.
How to Register
- A $50 nonrefundable registration fee is required; we cannot process your application without it. This fee will be applied to your final bill.
- The cost for a WORKSHOP is $550 (which includes all classes).
- For CLASSES ONLY, the cost is $300.
- If you are applying for a workshop you must provide a manuscript along with your application.
- THE SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINE IS APRIL 15, 2012.
- PLEASE NOTE: If you are applying for a scholarship, you need only pay the $50.00 registration fee at this time. After scholarship decisions have been made, you will return to the registration link below to pay the balance of your tuition. We will give you detailed instructions about how to proceed at that time.
Manuscript requirements (these instructions also appear on the live registration page).
* You do not need to submit a manuscript if you are only applying for CLASSES ONLY.
* If you are applying for Lynda Barry's "Writing the Unthinkable" workshop, you do not need to submit a manuscript--this is a generative class, not a traditional workshop, so you will not be presenting your work for evaluation.
* If you are applying for a fiction workshop with Jean Thompson, or a poetry workshop with Erin Belieu, you will need to submit a manuscript. This will be the manuscript that we will send to your workshop teacher; it will also be the same manuscript that we will distribute to the members of your workshop at the conference.
Prose workshop manuscripts should not exceed 25 double-spaced pages; and poetry manuscripts should not exceed 10 pages.
All manuscripts must have:
- your name
- the genre of the submission
- your contact information printed clearly on a title page
You should keep a copy of the manuscript you submit for workshop; the conference will not be responsible for lost manuscripts.
*PLEASE NOTE:
Whether you are applying for a CLASSES ONLY or WORKSHOP scholarship, you must submit a manuscript. The scholarship and workshop manuscript may be the same, or you can submit one manuscript for scholarship consideration and a different one for workshop distribution.
