Words & Music: 2011 Registration Pricing
We realize that the pricing schedule for Words & Music is complicated because of the exciting array of events we are presenting for you. This year's pricing represents an attempt to simplify somewhat! In addition to the Words & Music writers tuition and all-events packages, you may also choose on an a la carte basis from a variety of luncheon and evening events which feature music, food, and wine. Please note that our prices have increased due to increases in costs we must pay in order to stage Words & Music, 2011. The increases will barely cover our own increased costs for faculty honoraria, airfares, and hotel accommodations, vendor charges for food, beverages, and other services, such as venue rentals for special events, insurance, and other administrative cost increases. The Writers Tuition Package, however, includes more this year than it has in the past. Please note the list of inclusions and discounts within the package blurb.
We have a variety of package prices if you want to participate in most or all of the festival. You may also, however, buy a single ticket for a single event.
You may register by credit card or check in advance directly with us by printing and completing a registration form and mailing it to us with check at Words & Music, Faulkner House, 624 Pirate's Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116. Mailed Reservations must be accompanied by a reservations form. Individual event tickets can be purchased at the door with cash or ordered in advance with credit card or check payment.
Writers please note: There are discounts on some events for writers registered purchasing tuition packages. These discounts will be reflected where applicable on this page.
Pricing and other details for any additional events of the conference will be posted as soon as schedules of presenters and other details have been determined.
