Event Rules

Please note: By signing up or coming to any of our events, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct.

Meeting: Only registered members of BWW will be given access to non-public events. Membership is free and easy.

Cancel: PLEASE cancel your registration if you will not be in attendance, so people on the waitlist will be able to fill that seat. To cancel: find the event on the calendar, scroll down the RSVP section, click on Going – to make it not going, then on Finish.

Zoom Name: For security reasons, please make sure your name on Zoom matches the name you used when signing up for the event. Adding pronouns is fine (and encouraged)! We just want to make sure we’re able to tell that everyone in the waiting room is signed up for the workshop.

*In other words, if we can’t tell who you are on Zoom, we will not be letting you in from the waiting room.*

Alternatively, if you are unable to change your Zoom name (and it doesn’t match your sign-up name), please use the Contact the Organizer button which name is on your account, so we can see you’re supposed to be there.

Content Advisory: All works in BWW are intended for an adult audience, and may contain language, characters, themes, and content that is offensive or triggering to some readers. If your piece has content that may be upsetting to others, please put the words “Content Advisory” at the top of the piece and the reasons why. For example: “Content Advisory: Graphic violence, depression, & PTSD”

Please note, this is simply a courtesy to all BWW members, so that they can choose whether or not to be exposed to given material, and when. We completely understand no one can catch every possible issue. However, we do ask that you make a good faith effort for the benefit of all members. Better too much info than not enough. This policy is in no way censoring what is written, it is merely a consideration for others.

If you’re unfamiliar with this topic, please visit this website for some examples of things that might come up. In general: if you’re writing about something that would be harmful physically, mentally, and/or emotionally to others in real life (such as graphic violence), list it as a content advisory.
