(BOTH SPEAKER WORKSHOPS AND MANUSCRIPT CRITIQUES ON ZOOM)
CONFERENCE POLICIES: The CONFERENCE KICK-OFF on the Friday evening will be on Zoom. The Saturday CONFERENCE DAY will be in person at The Lone Tree Hub, 8827 Lone Tree Parkway, Lone Tree, CO 80124. In case of connectivity problems, extreme weather situations, or other events beyond our control, the conference will be cancelled and rescheduled. Your registration fees will be applied to the rescheduled conference. Registrants and workshop presenters will be notified by email or phone. Those unable to attend the rescheduled conference will receive a credit toward the 2025 conference.
EARLY CONFERENCE REFUND POLICY: No refunds. In extenuating circumstances, the conference director may choose to transfer registration to the 2025 conference.
CONFERENCE & WORKSHOPS NOT RECORDED: Due to copyright consideration of the speakers’ materials, the registered non-profit organization Castle Rock Writers will not be recording any conference or any monthly workshops on Zoom.
MONTHLY WORKSHOP POLICIES
FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS AND WORKSHOP PRESENTERS
POLICIES FOR MANUSCRIPT CRITIQUES & SPEAKER WORKSHOPS: All monthly workshops are held on Zoom. If you have registered for one of them, you will receive a Zoom Invite a day or two before the the actual event. You may pass on publicity about any monthly workshop to writing friends, but each registrant must register on their own in order to be admitted. Go to Monthly Workshops and follow the prompts to sign up for either a Speaker Workshop or a Manuscript Critique. Speaker and manuscript workshops throughout the year are generally free, so there is no refund.
