Thank you for registering for Lit Youngstown's 8th Fall Literary Festival in Youngstown, Oh! October 17-19. We are thrilled you'll be joining us.
New this year: one form for all registrations. Registration is open until September 15 or all seats are filled (no walk-ins, please).
We hope you find our high quality conference affordable. If you are experiencing economic hardship, we invite you to click "Request a sponsorship."
If you can swing it, please consider clicking "Sponsor a struggling writer." Here in Youngstown, we understand the importance of lowering barriers.
General admission is $65 for the whole conference, shore-to-shore. Dinners are a $15 add-on.
Presenters and book fair reps are asked to register at the reduced rate of $45. Why do we ask presenters to pay a registration fee? Our conference may be unusual in that the majority of our attendees are presenters, and as a small organization, we are simply unable to host the festival (our heaviest lift of the year) without that support. We hope presenters will find value in attending, beyond presenting. Registration is open for bookfair tables until August 1 or all seats are filled.
Registration fees:
Free: undergraduate and high school students; those requesting a hardship sponsorship; this year's planning committee members
$20: part-time faculty, graduate students
$45: presenters, bookfair table representatives (presses, journals, literary businesses, nonprofits or programs, not individual authors)
$65: general admission
