What magic turns readers into believers? Spins ideas into stories? Casts people into character? Transforms facts into fiction and nonfiction?

If you have a story-in-progress (picture book, novel, or nonfiction) that you would like to take to the next level, come to this working writers’ retreat to discover—or rediscover—your creative spirit. This working retreat offers you the forum to discover, discuss, explore, experiment, practice, and pursue your muse, voice, and subject(s). Come, pack your muse! Give yourself the space, time, and support to focus on your work in a serene and beautiful setting, away from the pressures and distractions of daily life.

In this working retreat you will

• rework your manuscript;

• engage in craft discussions designed to improve your work; and

• participate in writing exercises to help take your work to the next level.

Please Note: Workshop participants will be asked to submit, in advance, thirty pages of a larger work with a short summary or outline, or three shorter manuscripts.
