To offset Atlanta Writers Club costs incurred for providing refunds, $10 per canceled activity will be withheld for any refunds given except for the Conference All-Activities Package, where there is a total refund fee of $60 if a registrant cancels the entire Conference All-Activities Package prior to the pre-conference edit/manuscript critique submission deadlines below, with no work submitted. The $60 dues for membership in the Atlanta Writers Club is NOT refundable–you will continue to receive all member benefits for the full 365-day term.
If you paid for a manuscript critique but cannot make it to the conference, to receive your refund you must cancel your registration through the Modify link sent to you in the registration confirmation e-mail–or notify Conference Director George Weinstein at awconference@gmail.com–no later than September 11, 2023; if you already submitted your materials for the manuscript critique, you will not receive a refund but the agent’s/editor’s written comments will be sent to you. If you paid for a manuscript critique but do not submit your materials by the October 2, 2023 deadline, your registration for that activity will be cancelled with no refund given. Your registration for the pre-conference edit must be canceled by July 24, 2023, with no work submitted, to receive a refund. For all other activities, to receive a refund you must cancel your registration through the Modify link sent to you in the registration confirmation e-mail–or notify Conference Director George Weinstein at awconference@gmail.com–no later than October 13, 2023.
Finally, if an editor/agent has to withdraw from the conference, we’ll enlist another editor/agent to fill the withdrawing guest’s place and we’ll confirm whether that individual will suit you for your manuscript critique or pitch. If we cannot enlist a substitute editor/agent you deem suitable, and no openings exist among any other editor/agent you prefer, you will receive a full refund for the manuscript critique or pitch regardless of the deadlines. Likewise, if the workshop presenter cancels and the substitute presenter will not address the same topics, you will be given the option to receive a full refund for that activity regardless of the deadlines if you don’t want to attend this workshop with the new speaker and topics.
Payment Processing:
The Atlanta Writers Club uses a secure PayPal portal to process your credit or debit card payments. If you don’t have a PayPal account, you can use the guest checkout option on PayPal and enter your debit or credit card information and contact details instead. This will ensure a secure, worry-free transaction on the Internet.
You must pay online as part of the registration process in order for your registration to be recorded. Due to bounced checks and failures to pay prior to previous conferences, checks will not be accepted and grace periods for payment will not be granted.
