Benefits of Membership

Send us your contact information and pay your institution’s annual dues ($350 in AY ’26-’27) below. Dues cover institutional access to the Southern Literary Festival and our yearly contest. There is no additional registration fee for the festival, and institutions can bring as many students and faculty as they like for readings, breakout craft sessions, open mic, and general celebration of the written word that centers undergraduates.

 

We do not currently offer individual membership options.

 

New! Membership Discounts

This year, new institutions or those returning for the first time since the pandemic will receive a $50 discount on dues. These institutions would pay just $300 for this academic year for all the benefits of SLFA membership.
