We invite participants to check on-site signage and registration bag handouts for up-to-the-minute schedules pertaining to book signings, author meet-n-greets, luncheon updates, pitch session assignments and more. You can select to attend only one day or the entire conference when you register–click on the Writers’ Conference box at right or on the home page. Prices listed on the registration form.
I’m not good at computers. On another site you give dollar amounts for the conference, I think I have to get one of the tickets, or is this free?
If payment is required,are the $150.00 tickets all inclusive for all the events?
I just self published a book and I have a great deal to learn. This conference sounds perfect for me and I would like very much to attend. But would like 3 other people to come with me. Do I need to send $600.00?
Dear Donald,
First of all, the 2-day conference cost is $175 per person. This is clear on the registration page of this web site. It is inclusive of the conference sessions. The Saturday luncheon is extra, as is also shown on the registration page.
Registration by PayPal payment on the web site will end up with you having a ticket. You can also register by mail. Send your address and we’ll send you a brochure with registration form.
Donald,
I know Phil typed up this reply ages ago…I didn’t notice that it didn’t go into “approved” mode. So here we are getting back to you two months later. My goodness. I apologize.
To anyone else with similar questions, there’s the answer. Eventbrite has a secure and easy site that lets you pay with PayPal or you can just let it “reserve” your ticket while you alert it that you’re paying with a check. You’ll need the Naples Press Club mailing address then, which is 2390 Tamiami Trail N., Ste 210, Naples, FL 34103. PLEASE make sure you notify us by registering through Eventbrite or through a message here that you’re sending your check for the conference.
We look forward to seeing everyone there!
Sany L.
