- where to send your writing sample, if required.
- the time and location for your appointment.
- The coordinator will also let you know of any specific requirements for your session. Most presenters, for example, require work to be pre-submitted. Additionally, you need to bring two copies of no more than six pages of your manuscript to the festival.
