Cancellations will only be accepted in writing (by email to summerwriters@northwestern.edu) and refunds will be granted as follows: Cancellations received before 9:00am on the day of the workshop: full refund, less a 5% processing fee. Cancellations received after 9:00am on the day of the session: no refund granted. By registering for the conference, you are agreeing to these terms.
Manuscript Consultations:
Manuscript consultations are an opportunity to receive individual feedback on your writing manuscript. The consultation includes a 30-minute one-on-one meeting via Zoom with a conference instructor or panelist to discuss the manuscript, which you will send in advance. The submitted work can be up to 15 pages of prose or 8 pages of poetry (double-spaced, 12-point font). You can select your consultant when you register. Some faculty members are only available for a limited number of consultations, so we recommend early registration.
Registering for a manuscript consultation is optional. You can register for a consultation using the form linked in the table above, separately from the conference registration.
