As Han Solo would say, “I have a bad feeling about this.”
Not about this roadblock–they resolved that after a few days. No, it’s StoryFest, the South Carolina Writer’s Association Conference!
We got an email today saying they would be refunding our hotel cost and the price of the special Friday “Master Classes” with the agents/editors/publishers. There is an ominous reference to “donations” further down in the email which makes me think they are NOT planning to refund the $300 price of our conference itself. I don’t know about you, but that kind of money is not something I can just throw around. I’m semi-retired now, living on a fixed income and watching my pennies. I had to save up to pay that money and I need it back!
Yes, I’m going to be fighting if they don’t give me at least part of that money back. I wonder how much a lawyer costs…
