Originally posted May 25th via Facebook in an effort to clarify confusion regarding author participation at our annual event.
The 10-Year Anniversary Celebration of RAWSISTAZ is scheduled for October 1-3, 2010 and it is our 8th Annual Event which we will hold in Atlanta, GA.
We are celebrating, right?
Well, if one more person asks “why wasn’t I invited to the event?” I’ma have to simply stop replying.
Technically, I only INVITE the keynotes to our event and everyone else I TELL ABOUT it and hope they can attend. I am not slighting you, or you, or you. I merely don’t want folks to get it twisted when they see a message from me telling them about the event.
No, we will not comp your room, no, we will not fly you in, and no, we will not waive your registration fees. Yours truly signs a contract for x-amount of folks (and dollars) and if YOU don’t pay, it means I do. And for anyone who has attended the event (any of the 7 we’ve done before), you know it’s one of the lowest costs you will pay for a weekend event. So no. We are not some large funded organization. We I sign that dotted line.
So again…NO, NO, and NO.
But yes, we will discount the author rate for featured authors. Yes, you will be featured on our sites, yes you will have a wonderful time, get fed, and meet readers and writers who love books; you may even sell some books. But , yes YOU can give back to an organization who has given freely for almost 10 years and yes, YOU can support us as we’ve supported you.
It’s simple. Help celebrate us as we’ve celebrated black books and authors for all these years.
Register to attend, advertise, and/or donate. . . YOU give back.
