Optional Mentoring Track Add-On

For writers needing specific and very focused input, this add-on option is perfect. You will meet each day of the conference during the morning hours for a consult with your assigned mentor. Each day will focus on one aspect of your writing journey and will include an assessment of your writing, platform, and marketing options, as well as next steps.

This track requires an in-depth questionnaire filled out and submitted at least one week before the conference starts, as well as a writing sample of up to three chapters (no more than 10,000 words, but at least 2,000).

Space is EXTREMELY limited for this option.

Purchase Limits/Roommates

You may purchase just ONE accommodation ticket. If you are planning to share a room with a friend, you will need to book separately and supply your friend's name during checkout (there is a space just for this purpose). We will do our best to assign preferred roommates but cannot guarantee this.

NOTE: We have strict number caps, so no unregistered person may stay in your room, or be in our teaching spaces, including unregistered spouses.

Accessibility/Mobility

If you have a mobility issue of any kind, please let us know when you register. We have limited ADA and accessible rooms available to us.

Please note also the Mount Hermon campus is quite hilly in places. If you have any questions regarding accessibility or mobility issues, please contact us.
