Q: How do I inquire about hosting one of the writing workshops or being included on the author panel?
A: We have three writing workshops and an author panel featuring up to five authors. Take a look at our Workshop/Panel Interest Form for more information.
Q: If I'm a vendor, do I have to apply for a business license so I can pay sales taxes later?
A: According to the South Dakota Dept. of Revenue, "If you are selling at three or less events per year you do not need to obtain a permanent sales tax license."
At the event, we will provide all authors/vendors with a Special Event Tax Return, which should be returned to the local revenue office listed on the form.
Q: What do you mean by 'family-friendly' and 'traditional values'?
A: Traditional values, to us, means the "old-fashioned" virtues of honesty, integrity, compassion, and kindness; respect for all human beings regardless of sex, race, nationality, age, and ability or disability; marriage between one man and one woman; limited violence and swearing, and no sexual content.
We have this distinction because, as Christians ourselves, we believe it is wrong to promote or give space for sin, and we wanted to create an event that had safe and appropriate materials for children and teenagers.
How this applies to our event: to the best of our abilities, we want to cultivate an environment where parents can bring their young children and teenagers alike and won't have to worry about them picking up any book and flipping to a random page. We want to create a space that is safe from any particular political agenda and get back to the roots of our society's morality (the aforementioned values).
If you do not like or agree with our values and what we stand for, we respect that and still extend an invitation for you to attend as a guest! We welcome anyone who would like to attend.
