Get Involved
BWRC offers various opportunities for interested individuals to become involved with the Black Writers Reunion & Conference.
- Speaking Opportunities – Proposals from interested workshop and session presenters are accepted in the fall and winter. We are currently accepting proposals through February 21, 2012. If at any time our upcoming program becomes full but you are planning to attend the conference and would like to submit a proposal for an alternate workshop, we will consider any workshop proposal received by the end of July for the upcoming conference. You may review our most recent workshop proposal guidelines to submit your proposal or to get an idea of the information we would need from you for consideration.
- Affiliate Program – Attendees and supporters can earn 5% commissions on conference registrations by promoting the conference via the special link you get upon signing up for our Affiliate Network. Whether you spread the word about BWRC via your website, blog, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or any other social network, you will receive compensation for every paid registration through your efforts. See Join Our Affiliate Program for more information.
- Exhibitor Opportunities – Exhibitor booths are available for authors and vendors. See Exhibiting.
- Advertisers – Ads are accepted for the BWRC program each year and, on a limited basis, via our website. The call for program ads is announced in the spring.
- Volunteer Opportunities – From time to time we will announce volunteer opportunities and committee openings. Pre-conference volunteer positions are available to former conference attendees and volunteers only. On-site volunteer opportunities are available and open to anyone attending the conference. If you are a previous conference attendee interested in volunteering in any capacity, contact us.
- Internship – From time to time we offer a compensated part-time event planning or marketing internship with a flexible schedule and the freedom to work from anywhere. We are not offering an internship for the 2012 conference, but if you are interested in submitting your resume, please contact us. Applications are typically accepted in the fall.
- Sponsorship – BWRC is grateful for all of our sponsors for their contributions and support of the valuable scholarships, contests, and educational programs we offer. We deeply appreciate media, financial, and all other types of sponsor involvement.
- Literary Service Providers – Editors, book doctors, critique service providers, proofreaders, and printers can tap into the BWRC market base as sponsors by offering discounted services to registered attendees. (Certain conditions apply.) Contact us to inquire.
If you would like to get involved or are unable to download any of the forms on our website, simply contact us.
