Cancellation Policy
Writers SA reserves the right to cancel any course or event up to two days prior to its advertised date, due to lack of bookings or presenter cancellation. If we cannot reschedule, or if you are unable to attend on the amended date, you will be offered a workshop credit. Please contact us to confirm that your event will go ahead before booking travel or accommodation.
Credits and Refunds
Writers SA does not offer refunds if you cannot attend a course or event. You are eligible for a full credit to put towards any other workshop only if you notify us at least 24 hours before the workshop date.
Credits are valid for 3 months from date of issue, and can only be used for our workshop program. They are non-transferable, and cannot be used for membership or other services.
Self cancellations and/or refunds on any Writers SA long term programs will incur an admin fee.
Member services such as assessments, feedback, mentorships, consults, etc are non-refundable.
Specialist Program Credits (first draft, manuscript incubator and memoir academy)
There will be a maximum of two credit-holders at each event until a minimum number of paid participants is reached and will be on a first-come-first-served basis after emailing [email protected] to lodge your request. If the workshop is at capacity for credit-holders, you can opt to pay for the workshop or join a wait-list until the event reaches the minimum number of paid participants.
Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers are non-refundable, non-transferable and are not redeemable for cash. The voucher can be used for workshops, masterclasses, events or memberships.
In the unlikely occasion of a cancellation of a workshop that has been purchased by a voucher, the voucher amount will be reinstated. Gift vouchers are valid for three years from the date of purchase.

All prices are displayed in Australian dollars and GST is included on all books and products, including workshops, seminars and masterclasses.
