What if I need to cancel my consult with an agent?
You may cancel if you no longer wish to attend, but unfortunately, Agent/Editor Consults are NONREFUNDABLE. Please contact our agent/editor coordinators at specialguests@storymakersconference.com for specific questions regarding your consult with an agent.
Why are the agents/editor critiques nonrefundable?
As soon as someone registers (pays) for those sessions, we have people working in the background. Time and effort are put into those slots immediately. We very often have MANY cancellations in the final couple of weeks before the conference – after our committee members have worked hard on the schedule, and adding new people causes issues for registration. Our agents travel long distances to our conference, and we need to make it worth their while. Due to the attendees on agent and editor wait lists, we can’t allow an attendee to give their spot to a friend.
