Dear Future Workshop Presenters:
The Castle Rock Writers group invites you to apply to be a presenter for the CRW monthly workshops and/or our yearly conference.
Monthly workshops: CRW provides $50 for travel & printing costs. Note: we prefer instruction PLUS a few writing or organizational prompts. This way, participants go home with a some actual writing on an actual page or laptop.
The yearly conference also provides an honorarium of $50 per hour for leading a workshop or providing critique sessions on manuscripts submitted ahead of time. At conference, we also prefer having a few writing or organizational prompts, so that participants get some writing experience.
For in-person events, facilitators may attend other conference sessions free of charge, as well as pitch to an agent or publisher. Published authors may also display and sell their works at the conference and participate in a time for book signing. CRW takes no percentage, and you are responsible for your own taxes.
For online conferences, some aspects of our in-person conference will be missing, such as a Conference Book Store, Silent Auction, a prepared lunch and snacks, and headshots. Of course, presenters may attend other workshops that do not interfere with their own presentation time; please make sure to let us know ahead of time, so you can be given the proper Zoom invite.
CRW deeply appreciates talented writers who are willing to share their expertise. We hope you will apply to teach at one of our monthly workshops or one of our yearly conferences!
In order to apply, fill out the faculty application and label your document with Last Name, First Name. Then send your document to www.castlerockwriters.com.
Sincerely,
Jean Jacobsen, President & Conference Director
