Description
Litlando 2016 is a celebration of the creative writing community of Orlando, as well as a demonstration (in conference form) of its ability to offer surprising, memorable instruction in the literary arts––all while raising money for Page 15, a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the vibrant value and self-actualization of literacy in Orlando youth.
This conference is organizaed and executed by writers. Writers don't tend to like logistics (they give us headaches) but we've done the best we can to cover all your concerns with this FAQ:
What is the general tone of this FAQ?
Informative and slightly irreverent, which is also the tone of the conference.
Who is the conference for?
Writers who want to learn more about the practical side of literary publishing and performance, contemplate new trends in weird fiction, flash fiction, and contemporary poetics, and explore the roles of comic books and postmodernism to the American experience.
Where does the money go?
100% of the proceeds are donated directly to Page 15, an Orlando children's literacy nonprofit that provides free creating writing programs for Orlando kids.
What is the refund policy?
Because all ticket proceeds are donations to Page 15, we are not offering any refunds.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No, but bring some form of proof, like an email.
What if the name on the ticket doesn't match?
Just send a quick heads up to the organizer email address listed below.
How do I prove I'm a student to get the student rate?
Be a good person. We're using the honor system. Think of the children.
What do I do about lunch?
Lunch will not be provided by the conference. There will be a break for lunch, at which point several excellent downtown food optons are available to you.
Where do I park?
Nearby parking is available in the Magnolia Garage at 11 N. Magnolia Avenue and the Public Library Garage 112 E Central Boulevard.
