Accessibility Policy
Writefest is committed to making all reasonable arrangements that will allow conference attendees to participate in conference events.
For the 2022 festival, we are committed to obtaining a third-party zoom caption service. We will provide recordings of most events, with captions, within a reasonable amount of time after the event takes place. These recordings will only be accessible to registered attendees.
We recognize not all disabilities require accommodations, and some are invisible. Writefest does not require every person to disclose their disability to us, but given the range and variations of disabilities we may not know how to properly accommodate someone with a disability unless they contact us directly to share their questions and concerns.
For questions and concerns about the accessibility policy please contact jamie@writespacehouston.org, or by phone at 713-487-5603.
