WORKSHOP FOCUS
This is a special and unusual retreat, open only to graduates of Carolyn P. Yoder’s workshops. Participants will come together for seven days and evenings to write, relax, eat, play, and then write some more.

This workshop will include

  • one-on-one critiques with Carolyn;
  • group critiques;
  • some lectures; and
  • lots of time to write!

PLEASE NOTE: There is no assignment, but attendees are encouraged to bring to the retreat works in progress—nonfiction or historical fiction.

Workshop Tuition of $1,095 includes cozy, individual cabins; all meals (provided by a top-notch chef); airport pickup service, if needed; and an intimate teaching setting in the living room of the Founders of Highlights for Children!
