The Highlights Foundation Whole Novel Workshop Difference
AN INTIMATE PROGRAM
Each Whole Novel Workshop is limited to eight students. Each faculty member will work with only four students, providing undivided attention and several one-on-one sessions, and a reading of your complete manuscript prior to the workshop.

A PLACE TO WRITE
Each attendee has a rustic but comfortable cabin, complete with its own bathroom, coffee maker, and refrigerator. You will have your own quiet place in which to write and revise.

TIME TO FOCUS
During your workshop, you’ll be able to focus—maybe for the first time—on nothing but your novel. You won’t hear a TV in the background or have kids demanding attention. You won’t have to stop to do laundry or cook or clean. You won’t be distracted by a constantly ringing phone.

A GOURMET CHEF
Our Founders Workshops have become noted for the pampering that occurs, most notably at mealtime. The intimate family-style meals are a time for recharging and socializing. Long ago we agreed we weren’t a place of hot dogs and canned beans on paper plates. The food is superb, we account for individual needs, and the overall pampering allows you to devote your full attention to your important task.

A BEAUTIFUL SETTING
Tucked in the northern Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania, the mid-19th century farmhouse, home of the Founders of Highlights for Children, has played host to numerous creative spirits. The comfortable living room serves as a group meeting room.
