WEEKEND IMMERSION
Spring 2010
NYC: 5/21-22 LA: 6/18-19
Immersion Enlistment Agreement
My signature below acknowledges the following:
- WBC is not responsible for any personal, professional, logistical, creative, or
any other conflict, which interferes with my attendance, productivity, or course
work. There are many ways to receive assistance during the course and it is my responsibility
to take advantage of them. I am agreeing to enlist in Writers Boot Camp (WBC) with
a commitment of at least 10 hours per week in addition to the time required for
course meetings. This includes effective management of my lifestyle and creative
focus during the course.
- The cost of the Immersion Program includes class time/creative support daily (Fri-Sat), as well as continued support through Online Basic Training immediately following the weekend. I understand the commitment of at least 12 hours per week for creative work the following four weeks, as well as the availability for PHONE Office Hours twice a week.
- My Draft submission Deadline will be four weeks after the Immersion Weekend. Within 2-3 weeks following submission, I will receive an Evaluation phone Conference reviewing the draft.
- There are no script deadline or conference extensions. Missed deadlines
constitute forfeiture of privileges and services. Script conferences will normally
be held 2-3 weeks following script deadlines. Due to the nature of early drafts,
I understand that, while striving to complete my script, it is to my benefit to
hand in whatever I have completed at the time of my session deadline.
- Early Enlistment Deadline information: to qualify for the Early Enlistment Incentive,
Enlistment Agreements and payment must be received by the Los Angeles office by
the indicated deadline.
- Airfare, lodging, transportation, and meals (other than those indicated
above) are not included in the course fee, and are the sole responsibility
of the writer enrolling in the session.
- There are no deferments or refunds. I am obligated to fulfill all obligations
for the course regardless of my productivity and attendance. I acknowledge that
WBC does not pro-rate any fees for any live or Online course meetings missed. If
I miss a course meeting for any reason, it is my responsibility to contact my instructor
ASAP for a brief review. If I am unable to reach my instructor, it is my responsibility
to notify the L.A. office for assistance in doing so.
- Only under the discretion of WBC’s Los Angeles office may absenteeism be considered
postponement. Inability to attend MAY qualify for a postponement, to be used with
120 days of the original session – if space is available. In that rare case, the
postponement fee is $250.
- WBC staff and instructors pledge confidentiality in a safe, creative environment.
All project discussion belongs to the writer of that project. I can protect my material
by registering and copyrighting my script and written materials prior to handing
them in. I agree to maintain the confidentiality of ideas communicated and developed
by other writers in the course meetings. I will not record sessions and/or circulate
or copy course materials without the prior written consent of WBC.
- WBC instructors may be subject to change. All WBC instructors are trained to support
me individually. In the interest of creative support, course meetings or conferences
may be rescheduled or combined. Acceptance into and my agreement to take this course
are non-transferable.
- Exceptions to these policies are subject to the sole discretion and advance approval
of WBC’s Los Angeles office.
- I am also qualified for ongoing access to the Alumni Center website resource,
and Priority Eligibility for Professional or Online Membership. All benefits are
subject to current Member guidelines.
