($50 extra)
Available for In-Person Registration
Email us up to five pages plus a one-page synopsis of a manuscript, completed or in progress. The synopsis should detail your work from beginning to end. The $50 fee covers a 15-minute one-on-one in-person appointment during the conference with a member of the Manuscript Evaluation Team who has read your work before the conference. Because of time constraints, each member of the Manuscript Evaluation Team will evaluate a limited number of manuscripts. Manuscripts will be accepted on a “first-come” basis and manuscript submissions must be received by July 1, 2022.
