Terms and Conditions of this offer: The Carrie Glenn Writers Workshop is an ongoing membership created to support your efforts to get your book finished and published.

While we do not censor writers and welcome most storylines, we do understand that mutual respect is a must for an effective and well-functioning Authors Club. To that end, writers with the following storylines are not invited to join:

1. Derogatory personal, political, or religious content. This doesn't mean members are forbidden to omit criticism in these areas. It does mean that members must not cross the line between criticizing and defamation. If you are uncertain, do check with me before joining. 
2. Scam-style business books meant to falsely fish clients in. Optin books, ebooks, and other business books are more than welcome! It's also important that these stories be built on honesty and transparency about the member's company while avoiding bait-and-switch, false advertising, or any content meant to deceive book buyers for the company's profits.
3. Pornographic content beyond the realm of an erotica novel. Examples of accepted storylines include Harlequin romance novels and even spicier books like "50 Shades of Grey." This really does leave members a lot of room here, lol. Just don't push these boundaries.
4. Any content that recklessly objectifies the sexual, emotional, or physical safety of others, especially minors. Some writers will write about horrible acts done to them or those they know about. This is accepted. Some writers may also write about acts done to them that they enjoyed or acts that they did. This is accepted. What is not accepted is when writers write this content in a way that glorifies any crimes or those who commit them. Those writers are absolutely NOT WELCOME to join or remain in this club.
5. Plagiarism of any type and to any extent is unacceptable. Any writer who plagiarizes from any authors or writers whatsoever (published or unpublished) is not invited to join or remain in Carrie Glenn's Authors Club.

Invitation to join: joining members agree to defer to Carrie Glenn's definitions of the above storylines that are not accepted. If you are uncertain if your storyline is acceptable for an invitation to join, email Carrie at [email protected].

Good standing: All members are in good standing as long as:

1. their storyline does not violate the "invitation to join" terms and conditions, and
2. their payments are current, and
3. they have not violated any nondisclosure terms and conditions (see below), and
4. they have not violated any Club Etiquette terms and conditions (see below).

See below for nondisclosure and club etiquette terms and conditions.

Nondisclosure: What happens in Club, stays in Club! This means that all members agree that all written work is considered highly classified material. Members agree they will not discuss other members' work with anyone else. Members agree not to use IN ANY WAY the work of others in this membership. Trust is vehemently protected. Any violation of this term/condition will result in IMMEDIATE REMOVAL of the offending member, without any refund, and it will NULLIFY any refund guarantee.

Club Etiquette: Members agree that the sole purpose of this membership is the support of all members and their goals to finish their books and publish, and you agree not to hinder this purpose in any way.

Members agree to be courteous to all members and facilitators of the Carrie Glenn Writers Workshop.

Members agree to demonstrate respect to every member, facilitator, moderator, and gues.

Members agree that any conflict or disagreements be handled without negativity, bullying, attacking, criticism, or other means of degrading others. 

Members agree that this is a safe and supportive membership. You understand that your work and the work of others are protected. You agree that when you are giving feedback, it is given in a positive and helpful manner. You agree to give conflicting personalities and ideas space to be without judgment (it's okay to skip giving feedback on storylines as needed).

Legal Caveats: Although I make every effort to ensure that this membership complies with the law, I am not an attorney. Therefore, members accept full responsibility for their own behavior as a member, storyline content validity, and ownership of intellectual property.

You agree that you shall defend, indemnify, and hold Carrie Glenn—the Company and me personally—harmless from and against any and all claims, copyright claims, losses, damages, and expenses arising from or relating to this membership: Carrie Glenn Writers Workshop, and any offer of goods, information, and/or services online or offline, or based on a claim that the membership violates the laws, codes, regulations, or statutes of any jurisdiction.

Results: There is no guarantee that you will finish or publish because there is no way to know every member's personal history, motivation, and ability to complete projects. Therefore, no results can ever be promised or implied.

Cancelation: You may cancel your membership at any time. Because all members are offered a 28-day trial, there are never any refunds. To cancel your membership and stop future automatic payments, email Carrie at [email protected]. 

Communications: With your permission, we may use your contact information to send you information about (including but not limited to) our company, events, products, and services; as well as information about affiliate, partner, or other parties and their events, products, and services via email, postal mail, phone, text, or other communications. 

Your purchase of Carrie Glenn's products or services automatically serves as your express permission to receive such communications from us; you consent to opt-in and be automatically added to the Company email list, and agree to receive postal mail, phone, text, or other communications. You may always opt out of receiving future communications.

Changes in Terms and Conditions: Members agree that changes in Terms and Conditions may occur from time to time as a result of experiences that arise or for any reason. Any changes that deem a member disqualified will cause that member to receive notice of immediate cancellation, along with the reason why. All members whose memberships still qualify and would like to stay in the Carrie Glenn Writer's Workshop need do nothing. If a member chooses to leave the membership, they may cancel at any time.

Legally Binding Agreement: Acceptance of this offer is represented by your payment and is your agreement to all terms as stated.

Thank you! Carrie
