We are working on finalizing this event, but wanted to open up the ability for authors to indicate their interest in registering as an attending author for this event. Once registration is open, we will approach authors in order of registered interest, to have the first opportunities to secure a spot for this event.

​

Authors who respond to this interest request will receive an invite to register before midnight on 5/25. Registration will then open to all ECRW members until midnight on 5/28. Afterwards, on 5/29 the registration page goes live to any author or vendor who wishes to attend this event. Non-members can follow the ECRW Facebook page for updates about registration.

We have a variety of ways to advertise or sponsor with prices ranging from $50 - $300.

We are open to suggestions on additional items. 

To Note:

• We have explored event totes, but due to the cost of printing full color on both sides, and possible taxes associated with dispersing them, we decided not to supply them at this time.

• The event has discouraged water bottles and cups as sponsorship opportunities.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities please indicate in the form below and we will contact you.
